Removal Procedure
- Use a siphon in order to remove the power steering fluid from the reservoir (4).
- Loosen the 2 power steering fluid reservoir hose clamps.
- Remove the 2 power steering fluid reservoir hoses from the reservoir.
- Remove the power steering fluid reservoir from the bracket.
Notice: Do not start the vehicle with any power steering gear inlet or outlet hoses disconnected. When disconnected, plug or cap all openings of components. Failure to do so could result in contamination or loss of power steering fluid and damage to the system.
Installation Procedure
- Install the power steering fluid reservoir (4) to the bracket.
- Install the 2 power steering fluid reservoir hoses to the reservoir. Secure with the 2 hose clamps.
- Fill the power steering fluid reservoir. Refer to Checking and Adding Power Steering Fluid .
- Bleed the power steering system. Refer to Power Steering System Bleeding .
Notice: The inlet and outlet hoses must not be twisted during installation. Do not bend or distort the inlet or outlet hoses to make installation easier. Failure to follow these procedures could result in component damage.
Notice: When adding fluid or making a complete fluid change, always use the proper power steering fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid will cause hose and seal damage and fluid leaks.
Notice: If the power steering system has been serviced, an accurate fluid level reading cannot be obtained unless air is bled from the steering system. The air in the fluid may cause pump cavitation noise and may cause pump damage over a period of time.
