  Q: How to Service the Power Steering Reservoir on Ford Freestyle?

  A: 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.
