To Remove
IMPORTANT: Scrupulous cleanliness must always be observed when carrying out any work involving hydraulic components.
1. Drain the power steering fluid reservoir, using oil suction equipment.
2. Detach the reservoir and lift it aside.
3. Carefully clean the area round the return hose's connection to the power steering fluid reservoir.
4. Detach the return hose from the power steering fluid reservoir.
5. Place the end of the hose in a receptacle that holds at least 1 litre.
6. Raise the front assembly so that the wheels are clear of the floor and start the engine so that the power steering fluid is pumped out of the steering
gear. Turn the steering wheel to full right and full left lock. Switch off the engine when the flow of fluid diminishes, as the pump should not be
allowed to run dry.
7. Connect the return hose to the power steering fluid reservoir and fit the reservoir back in place.
IMPORTANT: The position of the reservoir is fixed.
8. Detach the intake hose with mass air flow sensor and turn it to one side.
