Draining power steering fluid into a suitable drain container serves as the starting point for servicing the power steering cooler. Remove the front
Bumper cover from the starting point. First disconnect the hose between the power steering cooler and fluid reservoir by loosening its clamp and then disconnect the hose linking power steering gear-to-cooler return after unclamping. Secure the two power steering cooler nuts at 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) after installation. The two power steering cooler bolts must be removed keeping them tightened to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) before reinstallation. To install the power steering system begin by following the same reversal order of removal and then refill the power steering system. Contaminants must be avoided at every step of the procedure because their entry leads to early failure of power steering components.
