CAUTION: Cap all open ends of power steering
hoses, power steering pump fittings and steering
gear ports when disconnected. This will prevent the
entry of foreign material into the components dur-
ing servicing.
(1) Disconnect negative (-) cable from battery and
isolate cable.
(2) Remove air cleaner housing. (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER
HOUSING - REMOVAL)
(3) Siphon power steering fluid from fluid reser-
voir.
(4) Unthread power steering pressure hose quick-
connect from hydraulic fan (Fig. 7). Drain excess
power steering fluid from line.
(5) Unthread power steering pressure hose tube
nut from power steering gear port (Fig. 7). Drain
excess power steering fluid from line.
(6) Remove power steering pressure hose.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before installing power steering hose,
replace used O-rings as necessary. Clean hose
ends and open ports with a lint-free cloth. Lubricate
O-rings with clean power steering fluid.
(1) Thread power steering pressure hose tube nut
on end of hose into power steering gear port (Fig. 7).
Tighten tube nut to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) If fan end of pressure hose is separate from
quick-connect fitting:
(a) Thread quick-connect fitting into cooling fan
port (Fig. 7). Tighten fitting to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(b) Slide fan end of pressure hose tube into
quick-connect fitting until it locks into place.
(3) If fan end of pressure hose has quick-connect
fitting installed, thread fan end quick-connect fitting
into fan port. Tighten fitting to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(4) Install air cleaner. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR
INTAKE SYSTEM - INSTALLATION)
(5) Connect the battery negative (-) cable to bat-
tery negative battery terminal.
CAUTION: Do not use automatic transmission fluid
in power steering system. Use only MoparT Power
Steering Fluid or equivalent.
(6) Fill power steering pump reservoir to correct
fluid level. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP/FLUID -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(7) Perform Power Steering Pump Initial Opera-
tion procedure. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(8) Check for leaks at all hose connections.

voir.
(4) Remove clamp, then return hose at reservoir
(Fig. 7).
(5) Remove clamp, then return hose at fan (Fig. 7).
(6) Remove power steering return hose from rout-
ing clip on cooling module (Fig. 7). Remove hose.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before installing power steering hose, clean
open power steering hose ends and fittings with a
lint-free towel.
(1) Slide hose clamps onto ends of return hose far
enough to clear molded fitting on pump reservoir and
fan fitting once hose is installed.
(2) Slide fan end of return hose onto fan fluid fit-
ting (Fig. 7). Expand hose clamp and slide it into
position on hose past bead formed into fitting.
(3) Install power steering pressure hose into rout-
ing clip on cooling module (Fig. 7).
(4) Slide pump end of return hose onto molded fit-
ting on pump reservoir (Fig. 7). Expand hose clamp
and slide it into position on hose past bead formed
into reservoir fitting.
(5) Install air cleaner. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR
INTAKE SYSTEM - INSTALLATION)
(6) Connect the battery negative (-) cable to bat-
tery negative battery terminal.
