Replacing Power Steering Fluid

[StuR]

Hi,

I need to drain off the P/Steering fluid this weekend and replace it with fresh.

Where would I find the drain plug /s??

Also, how much fluid would it take to fill the unit back up again?

As I know of, there arent any drain plugs. The only way to drain it, is to take off the hose of the pump.

After the oil has all been let out, put the hose back on and slowly pour new oil in the reservoir to the MAX line. Start the car and turn the steering wheel 3-4 times from left to right (full lock). Then go and check if there are any bubles in the oil. If yes, repeat the turning a few mor times till the bubles go away.
After there is no more bubles, close the lid of the reservoir and turn off the engine.

The oil MUST NOT get lover then the MIN mark when doing the above proces.
