Another is to siphon/suck all the fluid out of the reservoir, add new fluid, drive the car, or at least start it and crank the wheels back and forth a few times, and then suck out more fluid, keep repeating until you go through about two bottles of fluid. I've done it both ways. Patrick >>> I change mine about every 50K. Just wondered how often others change >>> their's out. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Patrick Oh you said suck. I was watching the National Hardware show on HGTV a week or so ago and one "new" invention made me realize I one stupid plastic jug away from being a millionaire. It's a smallish garden sprayer in reverse. Pump a suction on the jug, put the hose into the filler on you lawnmower etc., pop the douche bag clip and PHFFFFLUUUFFTHHH!!! it sucks the oil out into the jug.  Signature"Are you da poe-lice?"

It is probably the one fluid I neglect. > I change mine about every 50K. Just wondered how often others change > their's out. > > Patrick Yeah that sounds about right. I've never changed any LOL Signature"Are you da poe-lice?" "No ma'am, we're musicians." "So round, so firm, so fully packed, so easy on the draw" - Daffy Duck Ahem.

You'd be surprised at how ugly the fluid gets after some mileage -- dirt,& condensation work their way in. Didn't you have to change out a rack on one of your cars?

That would have been the Princessmobile, and it was sold off before that became a must-do. God, I don't miss that car... dwight >>>> I change mine about every 50K.

Must be a bad wrench.... Boy, did YOU read something wrong... Ain't no stinkin' way in this world that I would even THINK about replacing a steering rack singlehandedly. No, the Princessmobile was a squirrelly ride, and I "thought" about having the rack replaced, but we ended up selling it off to the first $1,000 that was offered. And Princessmobile gave rise to CFrog, so it served at least one purpose. dwight www.tfrog.com >>>>>> I change mine about every 50K. Just wondered how often others change >>>>>> their's out.

Mine gets changed ongoingly due to the leakage. LOL. SignatureA: Because it disturbs the logical flow of the message. Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > NoOption5L@aol.com wrote in news:1191893196.497262.75360@ > 22g2000hsm.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Mine gets changed ongoingly due to the leakage. LOL. You know that *can* be a fire hazard. I Had a leak in my 1965 Thunderbird at one time and absolutely had to repair it because the windshield wipers run off the PS pump.
