Power steering fluid

[PALY]

Hello all
I asked the local garage to renew my power steering fluid.

He said he's never done it before. I do want to do it my self, if it's

not to difficult for a novice. If some one could tell me an easy way of doing

it i would would very much appreciate it.

best regards paly

No it is not difficult but fiddly, if you remove the splash plate under the front you get access to the oil cooler pipe that runs across the front there is a rubber hose with pipe clips undo one of these and remove the rubber hose from the pipe and oil will drain, when done refit it and refill with oil run the engine and turn from lock to lock a few times to bleed the system, Rick

What Rick said

Usually a lot easier with the front jacked up when going lock to lock to purge the old fluid

I've learnt bundles from you both Rick and Banshee.
Thanks and all the best to you both.
