I found the flush procedure in the FSM to be the most effective method, you may want to consider it. If interested I can probably dig that up and make it available. You will also want to have the following items available: 1) 4-5 quarts Castrol Mercon V 2) a 1 gallon milk jug (maybe two) 3) turkey baster 4) about 18" of hose the same ID as the return hose on the PS fluid reservoir and a piece of metal tube ~ the same ID as both of these hoses 5) a short piece (3") of this same hose and a bolt to use as a plug in the hose. This part will be used to plug the PS tank during the flush.

***A helper would be nice as this goes fast. If you get air in the system as I did a couple times, walk away for 20-30 minutes, then continue with the flush. Don't try to solve the air problem immediately, you will be fighting a losing battle and probably make the entire process harder and take longer than it has to.
