Suction Hose

The power steering line service and repair process requires a hoisted vehicle in NEUTRAL gear to handle the power steering fluid cooler up to power steering fluid reservoir return hose. A suitable suction device should be used to drain power steering fluid from the reservoir. The technician needs to release the clamp holding the power steering fluid cooler-to-power steering fluid reservoir return hose while detaching that hose from the reservoir. The next step includes the removal of the clamp from the power steering fluid cooler return hose followed by its detachment from the reservoir. To perform the replacement disconnect the power steering fluid cooler-to-power steering fluid reservoir return hose. Perform the opposite steps of removal before system filling while ensuring all contaminants remain outside to prevent premature failure of power steering elements.

Service of the power steering line including its power steering fluid cooler to power steering fluid reservoir return hose requires a hoisted vehicle in NEUTRAL position. A suitable suction device should be used to drain the power steering fluid reservoir. The next step requires release of the clamp from the power steering fluid cooler-to-power steering fluid reservoir return hose to disconnect the hose from the reservoir. Unfasten the clamp on the power steering fluid cooler return hose before unlinking the hose from its destination. You should disconnect the power steering fluid cooler-to-power steering fluid reservoir return hose along with its clamp. When installing the pump use the opposite direction of removal actions and then fill the power steering system with its designated fluid. Contaminants should be prevented from entering the power steering system because such contaminants can shorten the lifespan of components.

The first step is to secure a vehicle on a hoist with NEUTRAL engagement for repairing the power steering line that includes the power steering fluid cooler to power steering fluid reservoir return hose. A proper removal device should drain power steering fluid from the reservoir. The service of the power steering fluid cooler-to-power steering fluid reservoir return hose requires you to relax the clamp holding the hose in place before removing it from the reservoir. Remove the clamp from the power steering fluid cooler return hose before disconnecting it. For the removal start by disconnecting the power steering fluid cooler-to-power steering fluid reservoir return hose. The installation process ends by performing the removal process in reverse order while filling the power steering system with attention to sealing off contaminants that could lead to premature failure.
