GM 3.4 LITER POWERSTEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT

 So last week i put up a video of the power steering pump remove and replacement. this is a video that for the most part transfers over to the 3.1 liter engines as well just the Alero and Grand Ams have the motor mount on the side that needs to be removed so id say the other ones are actually easier for the most part.
so for the gm pumps many people report noise after bleeding just continue the bleed process until the noise stops and sometimes they have to sit over night or a couple hours just to settle the fluid and evacuate the air. There is a gm Technical Service Bulletin for the reducer in the return line being clogged or to small on the 99 model years causing some unnecessary resistance and Argo noise from the pump. This reducer is found with in the rubber connector to the pump itself  about 2 inches back from the end clamp this could be a small source of an issue and usually unlikely but in some cases yes this is the issue.
So for the video is a great explanation in my opinion as to the process and i hope you enjoy the video and feel free to leave me any comments on the video and il help you out as soon as i read them
