Did the flush and filter today......WOW.
I was begining to get a workout trying to steer
this with the clogged filter. Now it is like a dream.
I was surprised to find that it did not seem to
be that dirty of fluid and the filter was not the original
but a Hengst, the same as I put in.
MY lovely asst.( she loved being call that) about killed herself
trying to move the wheel from stop to stop but did manage.
I ran about 1 1/2 gallon through before it came out clear
but I never got any clumps or junk out, just old dirty
fluid. But hey, I am happy now that the PS pump
no longer groans when I try to make a sharp turn
