I have an '01 F150 and I would like to drain and replace fluid in power steering. All I have been doing in the past is suctioning out old fluid in reservoir with a turkey baster. Is it possible to disconnect the return line from pump to reservoir, insert it into a bottle, so the engine while running, can pump out old fluid, while I add clean fluid to the reservoir? Anyone know which line is the return line? Thanks,

 

I am still looking for ideas or suggestions on flushing steering pump. Thanks,

 

the turkey baster method is easiest. Or you can pull the clamp off the bottom of the bottle and drain it into a bucket, but the turkey baster method is way easier.

Use ATF, if your auto trans has MerconV from the factory, they used that same fluid in the power steering pump, so use that.

 

Try using Synthetic ATF in your power steering.I've been doing that in all my new Fords (5) since 1988.
