    Power Steering Flush

    I decided to replace the power steering pump along with the reservoir and low pressure line connecting the two. I would like to completely get out all of the current fluid left in the remaining lines, how should I go about this? Thanks for the help

    There's a drain on the pump so once its all connected again run it turning the wheel then drain what you can from there then extract from the reservoir. I used a 'baster' to extract the fluid from the reservoir add more fresh fluid, repeat until you've replaced the volume..

    Just remove the two lines entirely so they can drip dry. Reconnect system, refill, bleed in the air with the engine running, and re-change the power steering fluid if you need to be extra clean (how messed up was this car???).
