aReLBee Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can someone please provide the procedure to remove and replace the Power Steering Pump on a 2009 Journey SXT? It’s making a whirring sound and has already been diagnosed by Dodge as the culprit. I’m not paying them to replace it. I can do it. Just want to make sure I do it procedurally correct. Pictures are to show where the pump is physically located on this vehicle. I’ve seen other posts where people are removing a pump that is closer to the firewall.

2late4u Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 have checked you tube for video most of the time there is one showing how to fix the problem good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aReLBee Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) First place I looked. No Journey specific videos. Everything is Caravan related with the power steering pump close to the firewall. Those do not help me. Thanks though.

John/Horace Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Piece of 2x4 on the oil pan and lift engine a little bit, maybe 1.5”. Helps create room for tools. A ratcheting box end wrench is helpful working in tight like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like someone figured out a way to make it harder then it needs to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Good point, OP might not realize there is a 3/8” square cut out for a ratchet drive to fit in on tensioner. But very tight space to work in. I use a pipe extension on small ratchet. Need some of the plastic removed to even swing a tool. Pulleys are almost right against cross member on transverse mount engines, as you know. I replaced with a RockA Gates when bearing went, then belt squeeling.
