Where applicable, replace the Power Steering Reservoir or clean the internal filter
Use a Pulley Tool to remove the power steering pump pulley
Completely flush the system with an OE approved Power Steering Fluid prior to installation
Bleed the system to prevent noise and extend the life of the steering components (this may require a vacuum pump and Power Steering Bleeder Kit)
