ATF for power steering fluid

Do it just like the trans, remove the return hose at the reservoir, pump into a container, replace as you go, maybe a half-liter at a time. two to three cycles should have clean fluid in the whole system

Ok thanks guys, 1 last question, which hose is the return ?

Post by **abscate** » 22 May 2018, 12:41

Isn't there only one hose on a pre-1999 - I thought the reservoir fed the PS pump directly??

The fluid some how has to get back to the reservoir, I watched a vid on the pump change and there was 2 lines.

The big heavy line will be the high pressure line down to the rack. The one that looks like regular hose will be the return line. The fittings on the pressure line are swaged with a metal fitting, the low pressure line just a clamp (either a hose clamp, a Jubilee clamp, or one made by Oetiker of the Oettinger Clampett Family (for erik)
