Power Steering Pump Oil

[anonymous-user]

I would like to change the oil in the power steering pump. Does anyone know how you drain the oil? I cant see a drain plug anywhere...

Also how do you delete cock up posts!

Cheers

Had all my power steering stuff apart just recently and don't recall seeing a drain plug. I think the easiest way would be to remove the nearside front wheel, and undo one of the hydraulic hoses from the back of the pump. Theres 2 on there, and one is slightly easier to get at than the other. I would also imagine that turning the steering from lock to lock would get some of the remaining oil out of the system too.

Oh, and to delete cock up posts, you simply apply some tipp ex to the screen in the relevant place. The person who has the most amount of tipp ex on their screen after 12 months could win the numpty of the year award...
