How to Service the Power Steering Reservoir on 2002 Ford Explorer?

Start by opening the clamp while disconnecting the hose from the power steering reservoir and drain the fluid into a proper receptacle. The clamp on the second hose should be loosened before detaching the hose from its connection. The service begins by undoing the bolt which secures the reservoir and continuing by removing the bolts holding the reservoir before removing the reservoir itself. The reverse procedure will complete the installation. A leak test and system purging operation should follow the filling step to verify system functionality after installation. All exposed tube components including hoses and fluid ports should get plumbing during maintenance since contaminants entering the system may produce early component failure in power steering operations. The installation and removal steps apply identically to both the 4.6L and 4.0L engine types.
