Default Changing Power Steering Fluid
Hi all.

I checked the power steering fluid the other day and I noteced that it looked quite old.

I was wondering if any you knew how to change it and/or if special tool are required.

The car is a 01 Ranger 2.5L 2WD.
I've read that this cars have a very sensible power steering system.

you need to go to an auto store and get a "mighty vac" the are cheap and they will do the job of extracting the fluid. After you refill the fluid, have someone inside the car turn the wheel from lock to lock many many times while you keep an eye on the power steering resovoir. You should see the air bubbles popping up to the surface and fluid going down a little. Add fluid until it gets to the full line and keep turning the wheel lock to lock until no more air bubbles come up to the top. done.
