Not at all.

When the pump is off, lift the front tires off the ground and turn the steering wheel lock to lock. This will get the remaining old fluid out of the steering box.

Leave the front end up/off the ground... install fresh pump/filter and with the reservoir full turn the wheel back and forth again a few times...refill the reservoir as it comes down. Do that a few times before you start the car and bleed the system under power.

Might get a fresh set of belts while you're at it. I recommend Genuine ONLY for the belts..the aftermarket contitechs are coming from China now

Good luck with it
