2. Siphon as much power steering fluid out of the reservoir as possible.
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
4. Remove the right front tire and wheel assembly.
5. Remove the splash shield from the right front wheel well.

Fig. 1: Power steering pressure hose attachment to the pump-with Variable-Assist steering



Fig. 2: Power steering pressure hose attachment to the pump-without Variable-Assist steering

6. Disconnect the speed sensor wiring.
7. Push the wiring through the hole in the inner fender.
   

If not equipped with anti-lock brakes, the hole will just have a sealing plug.

1. Remove the bolt attaching the power steering front bracket to the mounting bracket. Access to the bolt is gained through the hole for the speed sensor wiring.
2. Remove the power steering pump drive belt.
3. Remove the power steering pump and the front bracket as an assembly.
   

To install:

1. Install the power steering pump and bracket.
2. Reinstall the bolt at the adjusting slot, but do not tighten.
3. Reinstall the bolt mounting the power steering pump to the rear mounting bracket, but do not tighten.
4. Reinstall the power steering pump top bolt, but do not tighten.
5. Reconnect the power steering hoses.

Fig. 4: Install a new O-ring gasket on the hose fitting
Use a new O-ring when reinstalling the power steering pressure hose.

1. Reinstall the drive belt.
2. Adjust the drive belt and tighten the power steering pump bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
3. Reinstall the splash shield.
4. Reinstall the tire and wheel assembly.
5. Lower the vehicle.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Refill the reservoir and bleed the power steering system.

Sebring Coupe and Avenger

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove (drain, suction pump, etc.) as much power steering fluid as possible.
3. Disconnect the return fluid line. Remove the reservoir cap and allow the return line to drain the fluid from the reservoir. If the fluid is contaminated, disconnect the ignition high tension cable and crank the engine several times to drain the fluid from the gearbox.

Cover any components located underneath the power steering pump with a shop towel to protect them from damage due to power steering fluid spillage. For example, the A/C compressor or alternator, depending on vehicle and engine, is below the power steering pump, so cover the A/C compressor or alternator with a shop towel before removing any hoses.

1. Loosen (but do not remove) the power steering pump mounting bolts and remove the drive belt.
2. Remove the pressure switch connector from the side of the pump.
3. Disconnect the pressure line.
4. Unbolt and remove the pump from the mounting bracket.

To install:

1. Clean all parts well. Inspect the pump pulley for cracks. Check the hoses carefully for cracks or signs of weakness.
2. Install the pump, wrap the belt around the pulley and lightly tighten the mounting bolts.
3. Replace the O-rings and connect the pressure line. Connect the pressure line so the notch in the fitting aligns and contacts the pump's guide bracket. Tighten the fitting to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm).
4. Connect the return line and secure with the clamp.
5. Fasten the pressure switch connector.
6. Adjust the power steering belt for proper tension and tighten the adjusting bolts.

Use only MOPAR ATF PLUS automatic transmission fluid type 7176, ATF+3 automatic transmission fluid, or equivalent, in the power steering system of Sebring coupe and Avenger models.

1. Refill the reservoir and bleed the power steering system.

Power steering pump special tools


Power Steering Pump Removal & Installation Power Steering Pump (2V) To Remove:

1. Before servicing the vehicle refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Remove the accessory drive belt.
4. Remove the alternator.
5. Drain and remove the radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
6. Position a drain pan under the power steering pump underneath the vehicle. Disconnect the hydraulic pressure and return lines and allow to drain.
7. Remove the idler pulley from the power steering pump support.
8. Remove the belt tensioner.
9. Remove the bracket mounting bolt located under the belt tensioner mounting.
10. Remove two retaining nuts from the bracket mounting studs. Remove both mounting studs, and pull off the power steering pump support with the pump attached.
11. Clamp the pump support bracket in a suitable vise.
12. Remove the power steering pump pulley from the pump shaft using Pump Pulley Remover T69L-10300-B, or equivalent. Remove the three bolts retaining the power steering pump to the power steering pump support and remove the power steering pump.

To Install:
NOTE: The pulley must be installed within 0.010 in (0.25 mm) flush with the power steering pump shaft.

1. Install the power steering pump to the power steering pump support. Tighten the mounting bolts to 18 ft-lb. (25 Nm).
2. Install the power steering pump pulley using Steering Pump Pulley Replacer T65P-3A733-C, or equivalent; the pulley face must be flush within 0.010 inch (0.25mm) of the pump shaft.
3. Install the power steering pump/pump support and torque nuts/bolt to 24 ft. lbs. (33 Nm).
4. Install the bracket mounting bolt located under the belt tensioner mounting.
5. Install the belt tensioner.
6. Install the idler pulley to the power steering pump support.
7. Connect the hydraulic pressure and return lines.
8. Install the radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
9. Install the alternator.
10. Install the accessory drive belt.
11. Fill the power steering reservoir with power steering fluid.
12. Connect the battery ground cable.
13. Run the engine and check for leaks and proper operation. Bleed the power steering system if needed.

The oil sending unit is located below the power steering pump. 
You can get to it by removing the alternator, then the three bolts around the power steering pump bracket. Remove the small pulley on the bracket and pull back on the power steering bracket. Look behind bracket and you will see the oil sending unit. 

Disconnect the wire from the oil sending unit. Use a deep socket (1 1/16) to remove unit. 

While you have unit remove, I would go ahead and use an oil pressure gauge to test the oil pump pressure. 

Good luck and hope this helps
