July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Installation Procedure

  1. Install the power steering fluid reservoir (4) to the bracket.
    NOTE: 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.
  2. Install the 2 power steering fluid reservoir hoses to the reservoir. Secure with the 2 hose clamps.
    NOTE: 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.
  3. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir. Refer to Checking and Adding Power Steering Fluid .
    NOTE: 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.
  4. Bleed the power steering system. Refer to Bleeding the Power Steering System .
