What a feeling it will be! A properly adjusted W123 / W116 / W126 power steering box
As far as draining the power box, I found that letting it drain that way with the wheel all the way to the left doesn't get it all out -- after it was done draining with the wheel turned all the way to the left, I turned it all the way to the right and, to my surprise, more stuff started coming out! Once that was done, I went back to the left again and got a bit more out. Also, when the front end is slightly inclined on jacks, fluid WILL hit a steering component once the flow starts to ebb -- maybe the Pitman arm, maybe something else, I don't remember -- and get splashed all over the area under the car! So be careful .
