Reservoir

Begin service of a power steering reservoir by draining power steering fluid through the suitable suction device. First release the clamp to remove the power steering fluid cooler-to-reservoir hose then release the clamp for the power steering pump supply hose detachment from the reservoir. First detach the two nuts which hold the power steering reservoir in place before removing it. When installing reverse all removal procedures while tightening nuts to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.) then filling the power steering system with fluid. The power steering system requires protection against contaminants since they could shorten the lifespan of its components. It is essential to prevent power steering fluid from touching the engine accessory drive belt.

A suitable suction device should drain power steering fluid before starting the repair process of the power steering reservoir. Begin by removing both clamps from the cooler-to-reservoir hose of the power steering reservoir before taking off the suction hose simultaneously. To perform the removal task next disconnect the two nuts which secure the power steering reservoir. Tighten the nuts of the new reservoir to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.) and follow the uninstallation sequence in reverse order. Reinstall the power steering reservoir then add correct fluid but keep contaminants outside and prevent engine accessory drive belt contact with fluid because it shortens component lifespan.
