times until clean fluid starts flowing from the
power steering filter. Add fluid to the reservoir to
maintain the fluid level between the MIN COLD
and MAX HOT lines.
10. Shut down the engine.
NOTE: Always install a new power steering res-
ervoir filter when changing the fluid.
11. Disconnect the filter from the filter cover, and dis-
card the filter.

gasket of the new filter. Then attach the filter to
the filter cover. Hand-tighten the filter, then turn it
an additional 1/4 turn.

Level Inspection
1.
Apply the parking brakes and chock the tires.
2.
With the engine cool, use a shop towel or a
clean rag to clean the area around the power
steering reservoir fill cap. Twist the cap counter-
clockwise to remove it. Check the cold power
steering fluid level. The level should be between
ADD COLD and FULL COLD with the engine off.
3.
Start the engine and run it at idle until it reaches
operating temperature. See
for recom-
mended power steering fluids.
Remove the dipstick, and check that power
steering fluid is between ADD HOT and FULL
HOT. If the fluid level is low, add enough fluid to
bring the level up to the FULL HOT mark on the
dipstick.

Lubrication
NOTICE
Apply grease to the sector shaft with a hand-type
grease gun only. Use of a high-pressure power
grease gun will supply grease too quickly and
could affect the high pressure seal, contaminating
the hydraulic fluid.
Using a hand-type grease gun, apply NLGI Grade 2
or 3 multipurpose chassis grease until it starts to
come out past the sector shaft seal. See
46–05 Drag Link Lubrication
1.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down
the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the
tires.
