power steering fluid?



I remove the return line (the one on the pump with the hose clamp) and let
it drain. Then with it disconnected and the car off I turn the steering
wheel lock to lock a few times. Hook up the return line again and fill it
up, start the car and turn it lock to lock again a couple of time and top
the fluid off. I repat the whole process 3 or 4 times to get all the
contaminent out.
