2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder Power Steering Pump Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the power steering pump on 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: Service and repair of the power steering pump requires users to first remove the luggage compartment trim box cover and disconnect ECU connectors by removing the clip and a return hose. Service technicians must use Special Service Tool: 09021-12700 to disconnect the pressure feed tube before proceeding with power steering vane pump removal through the sequential removal of two bolts, a nut along with three washers. Install the power steering vane pump by first placing it correctly then fasten it with the 2 bolts, nut, and 3 washers at a torque setting of 19 Nm (190 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.). The pressure feed tube installation requires Special Service Tool: 09023-12700. When installing torque the tube to 39.5 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.) while using a torque wrench with a fullcrum length of 345 mm (11.81 inch). The process concludes with attaching the return hose through its clip then reattaching ECU connectors before bleeding power steering then finishing with luggage compartment trim box cover replacement.
