In this video we walk through the OEM steps required in order to replace a GM 3800 power steering rack and pinion on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. We show how to remove and install the power steering gear, tie rods, and flush and bleed power steering. In addition, we provide GM factory service manual steps illustrating every torque spec for each bolt. This process is the same for various other GM vehicles including Chevy Impala, Monte Carlo, and Malibu, Buick Lacrosse, Lucerne, Regal and many other GM vehicles with the 3800 V6.
