2000 Subaru Outback Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Does anyone have detailed instructions or a link to installinga power steering pump for a 2000 Subaru Legacy Outback, do I need to flush the fluid as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I don't know about detailed instructions, but i'd say just pull the old, put in the new, and fill the new one till it gets between the lines, you won't have to flush it unless you really want to, the pump's design is self bleeding.

NoahDL88 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I don't know if a gasket is involved with the PS pump, but i don't think there is one. As far as the bolts, snug, but you don't have to hang from the ratchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 do I need a new gasket, how do I know if I have the correct belt tension? The longest strecth of the belt should have a total deflection of 3/8 of an inch. Too loose and the belt will slip; too tight and the accessories bearings will have a hard time.
