HOW TO REPLACE GMC ACADIA POWER STEERING PUMP WITHOUT LOWERING THE FRAME. 

Glad the video helped you out.

Where are you located Travis? ;)

Offer for $400 still on the table😂

Where you located 😂😂😂

I'd have you do this for me for $400! I'm trying to do it, and can't figure out how he gets his hands in there to loosen the high pressure not. My hand BARELY squeezes in blind - it looks like he has all the room in the world. Almost looks like he took out the rack!

Np Thanks for checking out my video. Glad it out you out.

Wish u luck.

Thank you my friend.

@@TRUSTMEN of course thank you. I'm working on getting the new pump in now. So halfway done. Thanks very much

Give me a thumbs 👍 so it will help other people see this video.

having the same issue after replacing, thinking a bad reman pump. What did you end up having to do?

Not atm.

Is yours an awd or fwd? Having an issue getting the 16 m and rear bolt off. It’s an awd.

@@KayHillFashion Make sure you take off the heat shields, they are easy to take off and give you lots of room. Yes It will come off from the back.

@@tonyfry6531 Thank you. Ended up taking off the heat shield- gave up putting it back on 😫😂 said it was a 6 hour job.. took me 6 days 😂 working outside in 30 degrees without a lift was no joke.

@@KayHillFashion thanks for your post. Preparing to do this job myself. Can I confirm that you were able to get the pump out on a AWD (2011 - if it matters?) by taking off the heat shields - but otherwise following the instructions shown here? I have access to a lift so I hope that will make it easier thoughts?

@@scottgillespie4781 I did it on the ground with the front 2 tires on jack stands. After I took the bottom heat-shield off, I used 2x 12” 1/2” extensions to reach that tricky top bolt on the pump from behind the heat shield/ exhaust area. The swivel head extension I bought from Harbor freight was trash, would slip off the bolt. But if you had a quality swivel head socket that isn’t floppy it would probably work better. But I did it with a regular socket. Somehow I broke the bracket that held the upper hose that attaches to the firewall but it worked out because it gave me the extra room I needed to pull the pump out and put the new one in. I definitely did not reattach that bracket and had to wiggle that hose by pushing it up (bigger thicker one) when it was time to line the bigger hose to the pump to reattach it. You probably won’t have as many issues as I had since you have access to a lift. Im definitely not a mechanic just a girl who loves flipping cars and I figured it out in freezing weather in a parking lot. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. I did take the outter tie rod off trying to get more access to that top bolt but in hindsight, I didn’t have to do that. Hope the information helps. Mine was a 2014 awd Acadia. I did NOT drop the k frame or remove the exhaust, cat or top heat shield (couldn’t reach the top bolt with my short arms). You got this buddy! Just think of all the money you’ll save since it’s a 6 hour dealer job.

Np glad it help. The auto shop was gonna charge me 800 for the job. So I just did it myself.

I believe so. Suv body type looks the same.

2014 GMC Acadia

Yes my friend.

Only use AtF if you have put a new rack and pinion,or steering gear, GM says just use powersteering fluid if your just changing the pump.GM says the old rack and pinion seals will swell and leak using ATF.I did mine just as he did it but had to drop the cradle to get more room.8hrs later done.No crawling underneath.

It depends on the year of the car, mine is 2012 traverse and requires ATF. BTW, the idea of removing the pulley is awesome 👍
