power steering fluid change?
Did a Rennlist search. No joy. Nothing on Pcarworkshop or in Streather's book.
Is there a DIY for a Power Steering flush? Does it need to be done? It seems as a weak point in the car, regular fluid changes would be a plus...

I jacked up the car and drained out the steering rack, which I had to replace anyways. The fluid will completely drain. Button it all up again and start filling the resovoir. Start engine and move steering wheel from lock to lock several times. It bleeds itself. Check fluid again!
