• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on 2006 Buick LaCrosse?

  A: A proper replacement of the remote Power Steering Reservoir starts with draining power steering fluid from the reservoir. The next procedure requires the removal of coolant recovery reservoir and wire harness connector separation at both underhood junction block and Coolant Reservoir. Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) wire harness from its connection to the ecm wire harness clip on the reservoir and then cut both power steering hoses from the Power Steering Reservoir. The Power Steering Reservoir and bracket assembly needs to be bolted out from the vehicle as a repair step while Power Steering Reservoir hose ends should have caps installed to protect from contaminants. Lift the caps of Power Steering Reservoir and hoses and mount the Power Steering Reservoir with its bracket onto the vehicle while tightening the m6 bolt to 9 nm (7 ft. Lbs.) and the m8 bolt to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Connect the Power Steering Reservoir hoses to the Power Steering Reservoir then reinstall the coolant recovery reservoir while connecting the ecm wire harness to its clip on the reservoir. Next reconnect the electrical harness clip at the underhood junction block and Coolant Reservoir, continue by adding power steering fluid into the reservoir followed by power steering system bleeding before checking for potential leakages.
