how hard is it to replace a water pump on a 1998 chevy venture van?
On a 98 venture the starter is located in front and just under radiator. Simple to reach and change. I learned the hard way.
check the power steering fluid, also check to see if the belt is on
It is below the alternator and kind of hard to see.
Low on power steering fluid. Loose or missing drive belt. Faulty power steering pump. Faulty power steering box.
You should check the fluid level in the power steering pump.
It can be hard to remove a steering wheel by hand on any vehicle. To remove it, there is a tool, steering wheel puller, that can be bought or rented from local auto shops. It will help remove the steering wheel.
The Astro Van power steering and brakes work off the same pupm. Check the pump for fluid. If it's full and the brakes and steering still hard you must replace the pump
ball joints could be bad Did you make sure you got all the air out of the power steering system?
It could be bearing starting to seize on the alternator and reducing the belt speed to the power steering pump.
Check the power steering fluid to see if it needs to be filled. If not, then you may need a new power steering pump.
