power steering
this week my power steering began leaking but it came out of the top where the power steering reservoir cap is. i believe it is air raiding so a bought a new pump today and am curious about a few things. the fluid that is in there looks like sh*t and i want to flush out the whole system the only way i could think was taking of the low pressure house and turning the wheel while adding more fluid in tell it comes out clean is there a better way? also is there just four bolts on the reservoir itself or am i in surprise ? if any one has done this and could help out it would be very appreciated.

Connect a hose to the resivore , and use a brass union in the old return line .... fire up truck , and fill as the pump is pumping out the old fluid .. i used 3 gallons of fresh ATF ... then i allowed the system to drain ... then installed Synthetic atf and now i can steer with one finger ... in town even..

yes, four studs on the reservoir. be careful not to break the oil pressure sensor that is right behind it like i did. you would probably be money ahead just to remove it before you start. I just kept using a hose and a bottle to suck all the fluid out and replace it. it took about 3-4 times before it was clean. i also added an inline filter on the return line.
