How to flush Power Steering Pump

[amblerman]

I just did this job on my 99 S70. These instructions worked perfectly for the job. Thanks for the nice pictures and clear instructions.

Here are a couple of notes based on my observations.
1) I can't stress how important it is to surround the entire area with rags as shown in the pictures above. No matter how careful I was with the turkey baster that ATF just wanted to drip and fly all over the place.

2) When I did the job, I had to have my helper keep turning the wheels from side to side. I did not get the benefit of a free flowing siphon. Not a big deal but I just wanted people to know that you might have to turn the wheels a few times.

3) I also replaced my reservoir. Mine was original (I think) and was leaking. I think mine was leaking from the cap but I decided to replace the whole thing because the last think I wanted to do was order just the cap only to find out my 17 year old reservoir was warped and still leaked.
Replacement was simple once you emptied the old fluid from the old reservoir. Just two hose clamps and it came off.
