DIY - Removing & Replacing a Power Steering Hose 2000 Infiniti I30

This is a DIY on a 2000 Infiniti I30 on how to remove and replace a power steering pressure hose .

 

 

 

This hose is located on the passenger side by the back of the motor near the fire wall , Do not confuse this hose with the A/C hose . In the yellow arrows indicates the hose and the route of the pressure hose . The red arrow shows you that this vehicle comes with a power steering pressure switch . SIDE NOTE - REMOVE THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH FIRST FROM THE HOSE - IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE GONNA BREAK THE SWITCH OR CANNOT NOT REMOVE THE SWITCH I RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO PURCHASE ONE FIRST - THIS IS A DEALERSHIP OR CAR QUEST PART - YOU CANNOT FIND THIS PART ON EBAY  - THIS IS A $80 PART .

 

Then you can remove the power steering hose metal line on the left from the hose then the two bolts that hold the bracket down that holds the hose .

 

 

Once you remove the power steering pressure switch ( NOT UNPLUG ) I mean the part then you can slide the hose over to the right then remove the green plug in the red arrow then the bracket that holds the power steering hose to a bracket in back of the motor .

 

 

Then you remove the passenger side tire and you will see where the bracket for the sway bar bushing above that will be the easiest way to remove the bottom bolt that holds the hose .

 

Once you remove that pull the hose from on top out .

 

Then you just in reverse put the hose back on , Top it off with power steering fluid .

 

 

I purchased the hose on eBay where the price was good and the fit was perfect , You might not have to use the bracket to hold the hose because of the protective cover from the heat .

 

Again make sure you can remove the power steering pressure switch .

DIY - Tercel 91 - 94 P/S , A/C & Alternator Belts

This is a DIY for a Toyota Tercel Power Steering , Air Conditioner Belt and Alternator Belt .

 

First we will take off the Power Steering and Air Conditioning belt off first because to get to the alternator belt you have to . First you remove the plastic splash shield off and remember to clean and put this back on when you are finish .

 

First you loosen up the top bolt on the power steering box then you go from underneath the car and loosen up the bolt on the bracket to the left . To the right is the belt adjusting bolt which you turn and the power steering box will drop down to loosen up the belt to remove it . This bolt has a nut to keep the bolt from vibrating sometime you have to loosen the nut first . Photo below to show you where the nut is located . If your just changing this belt then you redo your steps to put back on .

 Now the alternator belt which is simple process and the belt closest to the motor you loosen up the bracket bolt then go underneath the vehicle and loosen the bottom bolt push alternator forward then remove the belt then to put back on redo the process .

 

Once you replace your belts you adjust the alternator with a pry bar but not tight where the belt will squeal but enough to where you can slightly twist it but not where it is to loose .

 

Now the Power Steering belt and A/C belt you adjust that belt with the adjuster bolt remember not to make it to tight and remember the nut as you see two of them the bottom nut needs to go down to the bracket to keep the bolt from vibrating loose . Then you tighten top and bottom bolts .

The one thing I found out while you have the splash guard off is you can easily clean up the engine before putting it back on .
