Thanks in advace.

under the steering fluid resevior, there is a black hose, a screw on clip at the top.
Another clip at the end of the black hose.

Loosen the clip to where you can yank the black hose off.

1 Put a gallon pan under the steering reseviour. A lot of cardboard under the whole front.
incase you live in apartments
2 Take of the black hose and let all the dark fluid out

3 NEVER STEER THE WHEEL WITH NO FLUID IN THE RESEVOUR

I took off the reservoir and dumped it out. Refilled with ATF fluid and some more thickener, just keep topping it off until you bleed out all the old fluid.
