1990-1992 MY 4.0L Sedans - with combined reservoir for ride leveling and power steering systems
^
Install rear strut filters. Perform procedure 1, steps A through C.
^
Drain the power hydraulic reservoir using the following procedure:
A.
Remove the cap from the power hydraulic reservoir. Disconnect the feed hose to the power steering pump inlet and drain the reservoir into a 2
quart waste container. Remove the reservoir from its mounts and tip it to fully drain the fluid. Discard the fluid.

Disconnect the feed hose from the power hydraulic pump and drain the remaining fluid into the waste container. Discard the fluid.
C.
Cap off the power hydraulic pump inlet stub pipe and feed hose to prevent dirt ingress.
D.
Move the power hydraulic pump feed hose up to gain access to the in-line filter. Remove and discard the original filter (CBC 9538).
NOTE:
The arrow on the new filter must point toward the hydraulic pump inlet.
E.
Refit the power hydraulic reservoir to its mounts and position the feed hoses to their original locations.
F.
Remove the protection caps and reconnect the feed hoses to the power steering pump and the power hydraulic pump.
G.
Install the ignition coil mounting strap bolts with the hydraulic hose "P" clip on the inboard bolt and the ground wire eyelet on the outboard bolt.
