Installation Notes
1. It is important that you complete all the installation steps before operating the system.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual before operating the system for the first time.
2. Follow all safety precautions for underhood mechanical work.
3. Use Loctite 242 or equivalent on all engine-mounted fasteners.
4. All hoses, tubes and wires which are re-routed or shifted during installation must be
secured so that they do not contact excessively hot areas or sharp edges. Where
possible, follow the routing instructions in this manual.
5. These installation instructions are intended as a general guide. In some instances, due
to variations in vehicle manufacture (or if prior modifications have been made to the vehicle)
it may be necessary to carry out grinding, bending or rearranging operations for correct fit.
These operations must follow sound, standard shop practices.
6. Left and right definitions in this manual are determined when sitting in the driver’s
seat, facing forward.
7. All fasteners must be of the correct size and torqued according to the specifications
shown below. Torque specifications are in foot pounds (ft-lb).
8. The possibility exists that the primary installer may be color-blind. Always ensure
that another person confirms the color codes on the wires.

steering pump installation. You will require the correct puller to remove the power steering
pump pulley.

discard the metal portion of the hose.
12. Fasten the pump out of the way or lay it on the frame. Do not allow it to hang from the
