i saw the write-up at that motervate site but it only has instructions for removing old fluid w/turkey baster, and he mentions that if you want to disconnect the hose next to the reservoir, it will empty a lot more fluid as well.

what i want to know is, has anyone actually completely drained and flushed their own power steering fluid, and how/what would i need ~

 

i am going to do it next weekend. i have seen the write-up on motervate and thats what i am going to do. i would think if you repeat the instructions a few times, it would get most of the old stuff out!!

 

I think I know what you mean.

When I replaced my slave cylinder and installed the steel line, I noticed that the pedal would stay on the floor after I closed the bleeder valve. I would pull it up, open the bleeder at the slave cylender, and repete. Eventually no more air came out. I closed the bleeder valve, pulled the pedal up, and tested for pedal pressure. It felt good then.

I think the catch at the bottom of the stroke is there to enable bleeding by just one person. Which I did.
