3. Release the power steering fluid reservoir inlet pipe/hose worm drive clamp (4) and disconnect the power steering fluid reservoir inlet pipe/hose (5) from the power steering fluid reservoir (2).
4. Plug the power steering fluid reservoir inlet pipe/hose (5).
5. Release the power steering fluid reservoir outlet pipe/hose spring clamp (3).

Note: The power steering fluid reservoir outlet pipe/hose (6) must be plugged to prevent the entry of foreign particles into the power steering system.

6. Disconnect the power steering fluid reservoir outlet pipe/hose (6) from the power steering fluid reservoir (2).
7. Plug the power steering fluid reservoir outlet pipe/hose (6).

Note: The power steering fluid reservoir bracket locking tang (1) must be released before removing the power steering fluid reservoir (2).

8. Remove the power steering fluid reservoir (2).

Note: The power steering fluid reservoir bracket locking tang (1) must be located correctly.

1. Install the power steering fluid reservoir (2).
2. Remove the plug from the power steering fluid reservoir outlet pipe/hose (6).
3. Connect the power steering fluid reservoir outlet pipe/hose (6) to the power steering fluid reservoir (2).
