Thanks, Ed. So if I want to flush the power steering system, I disconnect line A and rotate the pump while keeping the reservoir full, correct ?

Peter, anyway you do it will make a mess. what you can do is to make a cardboard sheild and point it toward a drain pan. and jack front wheels of ground if you have a jack and just turn the steering wheel from stop to stop with hose disconnected a few times then re- attach hose and fill system and start engine and turn wheel again from stop to stop a few times and then drain again.Just repeat until you get clear fluid. You'll need a few bottle of p./strg. fluid. Good luck
