Before you start
- Do not contact wheel stops or hold the wheel in a corner - fluid will stop and the pump will be in pressure relief mode; sudden overflow may develop.
Procedure
- Raise front end off the ground until wheels are free to turn.
- Remove fluid return line at reservoir inlet connector and plug the connector; position line toward a large container.
- While running engine at idle, fill reservoir with new power steering fluid; turn wheel both directions (do not contact stops).
- Check draining fluid for contamination; replace lines and clean/replace components if foreign material evident.
- Install all lines and hoses; fill with new fluid and bleed; operate engine about 15 minutes.
