Make sure you get that return line hose clamp exactly in the same spot it was before. Match it up to the imprint left on the hose. If you don't, it can leak. Small vice grips can help you get it back on.

Chris, you're my go-to guy for all projects I haven't done before.. Thanks for being so thorough.

Chris you are the best. Your cadence, clear voice, and well edited videos have turned me into a budding DIY mechanic. Thanks.

Watching refreshes my memory, gives me new and better tips and keeps us moving on this project. Can't thank you enough. Well done.

I’m getting ready to do pretty much a complete tuneup on my 98 Tahoe, and I just wonna say that you do a phenomenal job on showing/explaining how to do all these repairs/maintinance... keep up the great work 🤘👍

For most people nowadays, you might want to just disconnect the return line at the reservior. Drain reservior, then block it off. Put hose end into your drain container, and either turn lock to lock with wheel off the ground or use starter to spin the PS pump, just try to not allow it to start. Helps to have a helper keeping the PS res filled here. Do this until the PS fluid from the hose is clear or red, or whatever. Make sure you are turn lock to lock while draining to get all that fluid out. Then just reconnect everything, top off, start up and do lock to lock 5-6 times, check/re-top off, and then safe test drive.

I watch a few of your videos every night. They are great. You are a master mechanic. Brilliant teacher and thorough. Best on here by miles. Thanks Chris

Awesome video as always 😁👌. Only one thing I would add. If you buy a foot of power steering hose, you can attach it to the return hose fitting and toss both hoses in an empty jug. This will eliminate a great deal of mess, when you flush the fluid by turning the steering wheel. Makes sure the bottle is clear, so you can see when the new fluid begins to flow. Great video Chris 🤝.

Good tip to move steering wheel lock to lock (before removing the low pressure hose). Good tip to add new fluid to push old fluid out (via the disconnected low pressure hose).

+la nena, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason so I hope you see this. A loss of power steering can be cause by three main problems. 1.) you are low in power steering fluid (so check that) 2.) your belt is not on the power steering pump pulley (maybe it broke), it is on the pulley incorrectly, or there is slippage of the belt when you turn the wheel (old worn belt, or there is oil or something on it) -have someone go and turn the wheel as you watch the pump and the pulley to make sure it is spinning 3.) the pump is work out, clogged, or just brokem -you can try the flush I did in this video and see if it is just clogged or it has very old fluid or air in the lines or something before getting a new pump.

Chris, I would recommend not bothering with the syphoning of the reservoir. It is typically at the lowest point where any sediments or deposits will settle. Just add fresh as the spent fluid exits.

Chris fix got me addicted to these vids!!Such an incredible teacher

8 years ago this man was a small KZreadr now he’s a legend.

+Alex C, I cannot reply to your comment directly for some reason. I did the test after the flush while I was driving. It was quiet (which I mentioned at 5:50). The focus of this video was to show people how to completely flush their power steering system rather than just quiet it with an additive like in the last video. Make sense? And to answer your question directly, the noise is gone. There is still a little noise while the steering wheel is being turned at idle but nothing noticeable and still way better than when I bought the truck.

Air Bleeding 1. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir up to the "MAX" position with specified fluid. 2. Jack up the front wheels. 3. Disconnect the ignition coil high tension cable(or remove the fuel pump fuse.. same thing), and then, while operating the starter motor intermittently (for 15 to 20 seconds), turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right five or six times 1a. When bleeding fluid, replenish with the fluid so that the level does not fall below the bottom of the filter. 2a. If air bleeding is done while the vehicle is idling, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid. Be sure to do the bleeding only while cranking. 3a Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to either side for more than ten seconds. 4a Confirm that the fluid is not milky and that the level is between "MAX" and "MIN" mark on the reservoir. Check that there is a little change in the fluid level when the steering wheel is turned left and right. 1. If the fluid level varies 15mm (5.9 in) or more, bleed the air in the system again. 2. If the fluid level suddenly rises after stopping the engine, further bleeding is required. 3. Incomplete bleeding will produce a chattering sound in the pump and noise in the flow control valve, and lead to decreased durability of the pump. Good video but I suggest you do not start the car to force air pockets into the power steering fluid.

Chris, you are da bomb. I've seen other videos (not yours) where they ran the engine to flush the P.S. fluid and it shoots out in about one second. There's no way to keep fluid in the pump that way. Plus, it wastes a lot of new fluid that way. Your method is genius. Thank you so much for sharing a much better way of doing this nasty job!

I never undo the return hose,I use the same thing a baster. I get as much fluid out of the reservoir, put that fluid in a bottle (given it's at the said fluid proper level)then replace that fluid with a fluid that has conditioner for the hoses,that way I never over fill any fluid level. Then I start my vehicle drive a mile or two then repeat that process x amount of times depending on how many times it takes to rid the reservoir, pump and both return and high pressure hoses are completely drained off the old fluid. Then in a week or so repeat the process again with straight fluid. Also a great tip if when you drain the fluid and you put it in a freezer and it turns into a frozen sludge with or less than ten minutes then you'll wanna do it how I explained because of cold starts and the hot temperatures of summer are not forgiving to any vehicles fluids people. How Chris did this video will work alright there will be sludge build up in your pump and hoses, that's a huge reason why I always let fluid get to operating temperatures. Especially if there's isn't a pan to remove as in a oil pan , diff cover or a transmission pan. None the ever GREAT VIDEOS CHRIS , GREAT CHANNEL, KEEP MAKING THEM. I'm just not much on removing old hoses unless I have a brand new one to replace the old one.

man.. on the previosu video you made a noise test with/without adding some new fluid. Why you didn't performed the test after full flush??? i am curious if noise is fully gone.

for hondas just disconnect the smaller hose at the power steering fluid reservoir and connect a vinyl hose to that into a waste container. turn on car and do a wheel steering lock, turn off engine the second it stops flowing. don't bleed out the bigger hose on the reservoir, it will explode, I know this from experience, lol. fill it back up when you're done

There is a second thing to remember when working on Hondas. Honda power steering fluid is different from other fluids, but it is the same color as power steering fluid for many other cars.

This is awesome. First, I never thought to pay attention to the specific steering fluid when topping off my car so now I have to flush it. This made it sound less intense. Definitely want to do this myself.

OUTSTANDING video and narrative. Very easy to follow, great tips, and easy to listen to.

Hi Chris, i am watching your videos for knowledge and i did some DIY on my car and bike too. Question i have here is if you are using turkey baster or a hand driven pump, how do you clean the pump hoses or the turkey baster as we may have used it for brake fluid or power steering fluid etc, just dont want to mix any residue from the hose.

There's cleaners for each type of fluid. I'm a bike mechanic, so I don't know all the car fluids, but for DOT 3 fluid you can use isopropyl alcohol. For and grease or oil, usually any degreaser works (including dish soap). In fact, if I were you I would just use dish soap and warm water and call it good. As long as you get most of it, tiny residue wont hurt anything

lol and stupid oil change places wanted me to pay a hundred dollars to do this?

Yep, they charge around $80-$100 per hour, and probably charge a minimum one hour.

I paid about $5 for the power steering fluid. Flushed it out through the return line.

I've never heard you raise your voice in any of your videos when explaining haha. But the truck was running so I'd be talking loud too so people could hear me. I remember when I first started watching your channel back around 2013. You've really come a long way in your videos and have done great work in every video.

Man, I watched all of these vids when they were new, 8 years later I’m coming back when I actually need to do this stuff to my own car lol. Chrisfix is the man!

Supercharger? No... Ford power steering pump :) I'll have to try your suggestion of the power steering enhancer
