2003-2007 Ford 6.0L Power Steering Pump Kit Instructions
This kit is for vehicles that have the power steering fluid reservoir behind the battery. If your vehicle has a reservoir mounted in front of the battery, you will not use the triangle mount bracket.
- Remove the existing power steering pump, pressure hose, and reservoir.
- Install the Lee pump, clock inlet fitting as needed, and re-tighten the jamb nut.
- VERIFY PULLEY ALIGNMENT! We have installed the pulley at the correct location, but it is important to verify that the pulley alignment is correct. The pulley can be slightly over pressed or under pressed if needed to get proper alignment. If the pulley alignment is not correct, the pump will wear prematurely and void the warranty.
- Mount reservoir as shown in the photo below.
NOTE: If your vehicle has the OEM power steering reservoir in front of the battery, you will not use the "ALUMINUM ADAPTOR PLATE" from parts group #2. It is a flat triangle-shaped plate. Instead, you will remove your existing reservoir and will have to drill holes to mount the "Billet Reservoir Mount Clamp." - Build feed hose using one 45-degree and one straight -12 hose end. Make hose as short as possible, cut if necessary. Use the hose clamps provided.
- On the reservoir, the top fitting is for the hydro-boost return line, and the middle fitting is for the gearbox return line. Use the 90-degree hose ends for both. You can use the existing hose, but we have also supplied a 3/8" hose (if needed).
- Install the gold (40952) hydro boost fitting directly into the hydroboost housing. If there is a hard tube coming out of the hydro-boost, remove it and just use the fitting supplied.
- Install the pressure hose. 90-degree end at the pump. Most people like to use the 90-degree swivel on the straight end as it goes into the hydro-boost, but some customers prefer to not use the swivel. You can decide which works best for your installation.
- Install the filter. The filter can go anywhere on the low-pressure return line as it routes back from the gearbox to the reservoir. Make sure to pay attention to the filter direction. It is marked “IN” and “OUT”. (In from the gearbox, out to the reservoir). Use the Adel clamp to secure wherever it is convenient. Use the two straight hose ends and clamps provided.
- Follow the bleed instructions provided.
