2、 Dismantling steps for old booster pump
*Discharge power assist oil: Open the power assist oil pot cover, place the oil receiving basin under the power assist pump, remove the inlet/return oil pipe joint (loosen the joint buckle or nut first), release the old oil and dispose of it properly (do not dump it at will);
*Dismantling the drive belt: Use a belt tensioner tool to press the tensioner wheel, release the belt tension, and remove the power pump drive belt (if the belt is shared with other components, mark the winding path);
*Dismantling fixing bolts: Use a socket wrench to unscrew the fixing bolts (usually 3-4) connecting the booster pump to the engine cylinder block, paying attention to the installation position and length of the bolts to avoid confusion;
*Remove the old pump: Gently shake the booster pump, separate the mating surface with the engine cylinder block, and remove the old pump (if there is residual sealant on the mating surface, keep a small amount as a reference);
*Cleaning the installation surface: Use a cloth to wipe the installation fitting surface on the engine cylinder block, remove residual sealant, oil stains, and impurities, and ensure that the fitting surface is flat and clean (do not use sharp tools to scrape, to avoid damaging the contact surface).

3、 Installation steps for new booster pump
*Pre installation preparation: Check the appearance of the new booster pump for damage and the interface for burrs. If the new pump is not pre installed with a pulley, use a special tool to fix the pulley on the pump shaft (ensure that it is installed in place and not loose);
*Apply sealant: Apply a thin layer of sealant evenly on the installation fitting surface (or engine cylinder fitting surface) of the new pump (with a width of about 2-3mm to avoid excessive sealant blocking the oil passage). If there is a sealing gasket, it can be installed directly;
*Fixed booster pump: Align the new pump with the installation hole of the engine cylinder block, manually screw in the fixing bolts for initial positioning, and ensure that the pump body is installed smoothly and without tilting; Then use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts in sequence according to the specified torque in the vehicle manual (usually 25-35N · m, depending on the vehicle model) (diagonally tighten to avoid uneven force);
*Connecting oil pipes: Connect the inlet and return oil pipes to the interface of the booster pump, ensure that the joints are aligned, install buckles or tighten nuts (torque of about 10-15 N · m), apply a small amount of booster oil to the connection to enhance sealing, and check for no leakage;
*Install the drive belt: According to the previously recorded winding path, use a tensioner tool to press the tensioner wheel, insert the belt into the power pump pulley, release the tensioner, ensure that the belt is moderately tensioned (press the belt by hand, with a deflection of about 1-2cm), and check that the belt is not offset or has no abnormal noise;
*Add power assist oil: Open the cover of the power assist oil pot, slowly add the specified model of power assist oil through the funnel, and add it to the mark between "MAX" and "MIN" of the oil pot (it is recommended to be slightly lower than MAX). Close the oil pot cover tightly.

4、 Commissioning and inspection after installation
Exhaust operation:
*Start the engine and let it idle for 1-2 minutes (keep the engine idle stable);
*Turn the steering wheel left and right to the limit position (stop for no more than 10 seconds each time to avoid overloading the pump body), repeat 3-5 times, and exhaust the air in the pipeline;
*Turn off the engine, let it stand for 5 minutes, check the power assist oil level, and if it is below the MIN mark, replenish it to the standard range;
Leakage inspection:
Observe whether there is any oil leakage on the installation fitting surface, oil pipe joint, and oil pot interface of the booster pump. If there is any leakage, tighten the corresponding joint or bolt, and reapply sealant if necessary;
Functional testing:
*Start the engine, turn the steering wheel lightly, and feel if the steering assistance is smooth, even, and without any heaviness or jamming;
*Run for 5-10 minutes and check if there is any abnormal noise (such as whistling or knocking) from the booster pump, and if the belt is slipping or overheating;
*Check the level of the booster oil again to ensure that there is no obvious drop and no foam in the oil (if there is foam, it may be that the air has not been completely discharged, and it needs to be re discharged).
