Power steering flush question.
 

I'm getting ready to flush the fluid and replace the filter. Can I just pop the low pressure line and drain it? Will the pump just pump the fluid out or do I need to turn the wheel from side to side?

Anything else I end to watch out for? This is on the 190 by the way.

Thanks

BEWARE ! DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY!

On your own here...

I think I can get a beautiful assistant to help. Thanks for the link. I only bought 1 quart is I guess I will need to get a few more.

Thanks again.

In my experience just sticking the front wheels up in the air / putting the front wheels on slip plates and turning the steering from lock to lock a few times does all the necessary bleeding.

The trick draining from the steering box looks a bit tight on the W201 - I haven't tried it yet.
