Proper bleeding of the power steering pump is the responsibility of the installer. Improper modification or installation will void your warranty and may result in vehicle damage or personal injury. If you have any installation questions, refer to your factory shop manual or call our Tech Service personnel at 216-961-1800 from 7am to 4pm EDT. INSTALLING POWER STEERING PUMP We recommend you follow Original Equipment Manufacturers Remove & Replace procedure for your specific Year, Make and Model Vehicle. Follow factory torque specifications and pressure recommendations. BEFORE BLEEDING Verify that the power steering hoses do not touch any part of the vehicle and that there are no leaks or loose connections. When filling the power steering pump reservoir, use only new, name brand premium quality power steering pump fluid. Do not use transmission fluid. BLEEDING PROCEDURE 1 - Do not start the engine until the power steering system is fully bled. 2 - Raise the front end of the vehicle so that the front wheels are free to turn left and right. 3 - Turn the steering wheel fully to the left. 4 - Fill the power steering pump reservoir to full cold level. Leave the cap off the reservoir. 5 - With an assistant watching the fluid level, turn the steering wheel slowly and smoothly from lock to lock until the fluid level drops in the reservoir. Once the fluid level drops, have your assistant refill the reservoir to full cold level. 6 - If the fluid level does not drop in the reservoir after a few lock to lock cycles, there is still air in the system. On systems with an oil cooler, you may need to turn the steering wheel slowly and smoothly from lock to lock 20 to 40 times. 7 - After the reservoir fluid level drops and the reservoir is refilled, turn the steering wheel slowly and smoothly from lock to lock and verify that there are no bubbles or fluid level drops. 8 - Disable the engine from starting, then crank the engine for a few seconds. If the reservoir fluid drops, there is air trapped in the system. Continue above steps until the fluid in the reservoir remains constant and no air bubbles are seen. 9 - Lower the front wheels to the ground, start the engine and verify that the power steering fluid is at the correct level. Add fluid if necessary then reinstall reservoir cap. With the engine running, turn the steering wheel lock to lock and verify that the power steering assist is working properly, that there are no system leaks and that the reservoir is at the proper level. NOTE The power steering fluid level should not rise in the reservoir when the engine is turned off. If the fluid level rises, there is still air trapped in the system. Repeat the above bleeding procedure. Bubbles in the reservoir indicate a loose hose connection, a bad O-ring or a bad hose end/flare seat. A properly working power steering system has no air bubbles.

Pre Install Requirements On engines not running High Mount A/C, We do recommend using the LSA 6 rib tensioner GM Part Number 12628025 for the main accessories with a 68MM Pulley (LSX Part Number 419604) to provide adequate clearance from the 6 rib belt tensioner to the race drive Compatible LSA Tensioner with pre installed 68MM Pulley Scan QR Code 1: Pre Install Mock-up First, verify fitment and pulley clearance. Install the LSA Race Drive as show in the following instructions without torquing the bolts or using the nylon insert locknuts. (We have provided two 10MM and one 12MM black flange nuts to be used for mock-up purposes, do not use them when running the race drive). We recommended the race drive pulleys have at least 5/16 of an inch or more clearance from the main supercharger pulley and the crank pulley. If you do not have the minimum clearance you will need to move the race drive pulley to another hole or slot. Once the drive is mocked up, measure it for a belt using the belt measuring instructions to find the correct belt length for you application. There are several ways to install the pulleys so it is best to verify the necessary clearance for you application, as it may differ from other combinations. 2: Water Pump Standoff Bracket Install Install the water pump standoff bracket (#17) onto the water pump using the two M8x80MM Hex Head Bolts (#15) and M8 wahsers (#16) as shown. Apply a small amount of blue Locktite and tighten the bolts. NOTE: If you are installing this kit with a High Mount A/C kit, install the A/C first 3: Pulley Positioning Determine the appropriate pulley position for the two main smooth pulleys on the race drive. The upper pulley has two positions, The lower position is for superchargers running stock supercharger pulleys and the upper position is for all smaller overdrive pulleys. It is best to test fit and determine the best position for your combination. It is recommended that you have at least 5/16 of an inch clearance between the upper supercharger pulley and the race drive upper pulley. If you do not have at least 5/16 of an inch move the pulley to the lower position. During test fitting also check clearance on the lower pulley, the lower pulley should have at least 5/16 clearance to the crank pulley through the sweep of the slot. The lower slot should be usable for all pulley up to about 8.5 inches in diameter. For pulleys larger than 8.5 inches use the upper slot. It May be necessary to trial fit the entire system more then once to determine proper pulley positioning. Upper Postion lower Postion Upper Slot lower Slot 4: Rear Plate Pulley Bolts Put the10MM Bolts (#6) with the 1" steel washers (#7 & #8) through the back of the rear plate and the 12MM bolt with 1.250 washer (#2) in the appropriate hole and slot for your combination, as shown. It may be necessary for multiple test fitments to determine the correct pulley positions for you combination. 10MM Bolt + 1.000 Wash12MM Bolt + 1.250 Washer 5: Rear Plate Installation Install the three M8x55MM (#13) and one 8MMx20MM (#19) FHA through the rear plate into through the main LSA mounting block as shown and attach to the LSA water pump. 6: Rear Plate Instalation Torque All the 8MM Flat head Allen Bolts to 20Nm (15 ft. lbs.) 7: Rear Plate Stud Installation To install the 10MM Axle Stud (#9) into the mounting block, tighten two of the 10MM mock up flange nuts (#18) together as a driver, insert the stud into the threaded hole in the main LSA bracket mount block and tighten. There is a set screw in the base of the mounting block to provide a positive stop for the stud. When installed the stud should protrude about 2-3/4" from the rear plate 8: Pulley Installation Install the 3 pulleys as shown using the appropriate spacers. The ribbed pulley uses the two aluminum spacers with large holes (#12) and the two idler pulleys use the aluminum stepped spacers with the small holes (#11). (Note: the 2 chamfered washers are used outside the front plate when attaching the front cover). 9: Belt Installation Slide on the belt, route belt as shown and slide on the front cover (#1). 10: Front Cover Installation Use the 2 chamfered aluminum washers (#10) on the upper pulley and ribbed pulley locations and use the 1.250 steel washer on the lower 12MM bolt. For test fitting, and for intial belt measuring use the 3 black oxide flange nuts (#18) to hold the assembly together, for final assembly use only the nylon insert lock nuts. Torque 10MM Bolts to 30 ft. lbs 11: Belt Tightening and Break In Align the torque arm (#21) pivot to the 1/4 hole in the front and rear plate. Slide in the 1/4 pin (#21). Use upper hole for adjusting the pulley if mounted in upper slot. Use the lower pin hole for adjusting the pulley if mounted in the lower slot. Set your torque wrench to 100 ft. lbs. and Insert it into 1/2 drive in the torque arm. Make sure your torque wrench is parallel to the torque arm. (see the picture below). Serpentine Belts: We recommend the use of Continental Elite belts whenever possible, the use of any other brand/ style of belts may result in premature loss of tension due to belt stretching, excessive belt wear, excesive black dust in the engine compartment. Please see the last page of the instructions for a list of available belt sizes and part numbers. Maintenance and Break In: The LSA Race Drive will require a serpentine belt break in procedure as show in the instructions any time a new 8 rib belt is installed, The belt tension and wear will need to be monitored and adjusted as needed. Slide a open end 17MM wrench to the backside of the lower bolt. You will have to twist the 6 rib belt slightly to get to the bolt head on the backside of the rear plate. The belt will actually help hold the wrench in place for tightening the lower adjustable pulley. The belt tightening procedure in the next step requires 2 people. One to operate the torque wrench and the other to loosen and tighten the bolts. You must maintain torque on the torque wrench while loosening and tightening the pulley bolt. Do not allow tension to slacken during the multi step tightening procedure. You will use this same procedure anytime you re-tighten or replace the belt. After pulling the torque up to 100 ft. lbs. on the torque wrench, tighten the lower bolt. Then spin the engine over to distribute the belt stretch evenly across the entire belt length. You can do this by bumping the starter or putting a socket on the crank and turning the engine over by hand. After you have turned the engine over about one turn, pull the torque back up to 100 ft. lbs. on the torque arm. While holding torque, loosen and re-tighten the lower pulley nut. DO NOT let the tension on the lower pulley loosen up. This is done because the belt does not stretch where it is in contact with the pulleys. It may take multiple times to distribute the load evenly on the belt to reach the desired belt tension as recommended by the belt manufacturer. Check the belt tension using the provided Dayco gauge. It should be in the 260-280 ft. lbs. range on the tension gauge. If it is not, Repeat the tightening procedure (tighten, spin engine over, re-tighten) until it is the 260-280 ft. lbs. range is achieved. This is the recommended setting from Dayco on a new 8 rib belt without an automatic tensioner. Once you have achieved the desired tension pull the 1/4 pin out and remove the tensioner adjustment arm. Belt Break In New Belt Tension: 280 lbs. (GATES HD BELTS @ 175) Retension Amount (After 3-5 Min run In): 240 lbs. (GATES HD BELTS @ 125-175) *Used Belt Tension: 120 lbs *The used belt tension is the amount of tension that would typically be maintained under normal drive conditions by the given belt size. If the tension drops below the used belt tension, then the belt should be re-tensioned according to the RETENSION amount.If the belt is shown to be worn, either caused by excessive slipping or just normal long term operation, then the belt should be REPLACED rather than retensioned. 12: Belt Selection Once you have trial fitted your LSA Race drive, it is important to measure and select the right length belt. Since so many combinations are possible we recommend measuring your setup and have provided you with a tape measure to properly measure for your belt. Route the tape measure and get the measurement. Take the value and multiply by 1.008 (adjusts for belt thickness) Sample Measurements (all the following samples are using a std deck block) show for comparison. Stock Upper Pulley and Lower Pulley : 51-3/4 (51.750*1.008 = 52.164) Use Belt 52.5" PN #4080525 Stock Upper Pulley and Lower 5% Pulley : 52-3/4 (52.750*1.008 = 53.172) Use Belt 53.5" PN #4080535 Stock Upper Pulley and Lower 10% Lower : 53-1/2 (53.5*1.008 = 53.192) Use Belt 54.5" PN #4080545 Stock Upper Pulley and Lower 22.5% Lower : 55-3/4 (55.750*1.008 = 56.196) Use Belt 56.5" PN #4080565 Belt length should always be about 1/2 larger than the measurement to allow easy instalation. Too long of a belt will work but will not allow as much belt stretch and will require belt replacement sooner then a proper sized belt. See Page 12 for belt part numbers by length.
