Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
Fix the leak then empty out the reservoir with a turkey baster or a hand siphon pump if you have one. Refill it with ATF.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
I'd just fill it with ATF a few times before fixing the leak. The only other ways of getting the power steering fluid out of the lines is a lot less fun.

The Jitters are from air entering the system. |

I'll get some more ATF and keep flushing out the Steering Fluid. i'm guessing the air will work its way out ? |

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
After the exchanging of the ATF in place of the psf, then fix the leak, then you can start working the air out of the system.

BTW it is Dactron ATF Bad spell checker DEXRON Last edited by Conn SVX; 12-10-2011 at 08:14 PM. |

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
Confused again ... Looking at the power steering fix , what exactly did you do? I see a hose with clamp also see a hose with a metal pipe and clamp. I see what looks like a nipple coming out of the bottom of you radiator cooler with nothing attached . Now the body work . What did you use to do that ? Did u back it or just fill it with what looks like Fiberglass impregnated Bondo or we called it Duroglass. My body shop said they no longer weld in new sheet metal . They now cut out the rust and Epoxy Glue in a new piece of either fiberglass or sheet metal .
