|
|
After looking in the forum and not finding much I just went with a bit of common sense, to replace the power steering fluid i put a clear pipe over the bleed nipple on the steering box going into a clear 2 litre bottle, cracked open the nipple and started her up, wow it was black, not good at all, while it was pumping out into the bottle I was refilling at the same time, as soon as the fluid came through nice and bright red I turned her off, tightened nipple, topped bottle up, now for bleeding just turn the wheel lock to lock a few times and top up bottle if need be, just make sure both front wheels are off the ground and that's it, hope this helps someone |

Its on top of the steering box mate by the adjuster screw, should have a rubber nipple on it like the one on your brake calliper |
