You should cap all openings of the power steering gear inlet and outlet hoses before attempting to replace them while the vehicle remains off. This prevents both fluid contamination and fluid loss. Start the process by unclipping the power steering inlet hose between
Power Steering Pump components before unclipping it from the power steering gear. The power steering outlet hose needs to be disconnected first from the power steering gear followed by detachment from the
Power Steering Cooler. The power steering outlet hose installation process begins with attaching it to the Power Steering Cooler followed by connecting it properly to the power steering gear. The next step involves connecting the power steering inlet hose to the Power Steering Pump by tightening its hose connections to 28 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). The power steering system requires bleeding and all hose connections need leak inspection to follow.
