I had to replace Ford Focus 2 power steering pump, therefore I decided to contact the service station to avoid wasting time for this. Specialists performed all the required work to replace the power steering pump.
The following things are required for replacement:
- 18 size wrench key
- New hose power steering hoses clamps — 3 pcs.
- Power steering pump fluid for replacement/refilling
- Drive belts

The original Ford power steering pump number is 1484948.

The car is installed on a two-post lift.
Battery terminal.
Dismantle the metal engine protection.
Drive belts are removed (belts are not re-installation-untended on the current vehicle).
It will be easiest to just cut them off since they are not be re-installed.
Two bolts and one generator fastening nut are unscrewed while the electrical connectors are removed.
The surge tank is removed and set aside.
Unscrew the four pump pulley bolts and first remove the pulley in order to remove power steering pump. Then the generator fastening top stud is turned away and then the generator is dismantled.
- The electrical connector is disconnected from the power steering pump.
- The tube, connecting the pump with the tank, is removed.

It looks like a power steering short pump.
The pump installation location.
The assembly is performed in the reverse order after repairing the pump. Power steering pump liquid is poured into the tank and the system is pumped through by turning the steering wheel before starting the car. The fluid is added to the tank, if required.
