Hi, Can you please give me the part number for steering pump. I also own a Nissan Murano 2013 3.5 SL AWD. Currently facing power steering fluid leak due to the pump failure (is what my mechanic said). Need to procure one here in UAE. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Tough job for sure. Liked to never found those 2 bolts at the top holding the bracket.. One comes out and the other loosened. Make sure all bolts are started back before tightening the bracket as the bolts through the pulley probably won't line up.
i was working on it other day agos cant get from above so i went under vehicle got it pulled off and swapped out it was stupidity ideas engineering that vehicle and they would have put it on top of engine make it super easy access it same goes to alternate and it suck alternator died and have pull whole front end off get to it out there i hate it because lower radiators hose have come off so you can pull alternator out of it if dont have small size socket than cant get bolt out of steeling power pump because not much room in there limits to 2in
No one shows how they took it off on any of these videos, they just show the pump already off. This doesn't do any justice for anyone without any mechanic experience at all.......like geez guys
I removed the reservoir and still don't see how to get at those bolts from the top. What tools were used to loosen those too bolts? Good to know I only have to loosen them anyways. Those two bolts are the only thing keeping me from removing the pump. I regret ever stating this repair. I have a 2014 Maxima it appears that the Murano has the same engine.
They do have the same engine, although the engine compartment is obviously going to be a little bit different. If you are able to access the two bolts from above like I did on the murano, you will just use the same socket and ratchet you used for the lower bolt. Minus any extensions you may have had on there. Also keep in mind you'll be working by feel, because once you stick your arm in there you won't be able to see what you're doing.
@@joshjenkins9537 Thank you. I appreciate the quick response. I just realized from watching other videos that there is a thin cable mounting bracket that has to be removed before you can get at those two bolts. Once that is done access should be much better. This has been a really difficult repair for me. I should have watched more videos before I started the repair as I am only able to pick up a bit of information from each one.
There is so fucking little information about fwd vqs. No one gives a fuck at all about them it's like people just trash the fuck out of them. I have the exact same car as you 07 3.5 se. I have to go to 7th gen max (2009-2014) for information and there is still so little. I'm in like 50 Facebook groups as well.
No. You can just put the front end in the air and turn the wheel all the way back and forth a few times. Holding for a few seconds at each end of the turn. You continue to do this until it bleeds itself.
Hey nice video I am about to tackle this pump myself are you saying there is only 4 bolts total to remove the whole pump after loosing belt?? One comes out and two just loosen??
There is another video out there that gives a good run through of most of the job. I was just posting an update advising to loosen the two bolt on the bracket from above.
