To start, gain access to the engine compartment and securely prop the hood open. On the left side of the engine compartment (when facing the front), locate the power steering oil reservoir: unscrew the cap and drain the reservoir using a pump.

Then, disconnect the return oil hose from the reservoir fitting and pinch it with a pair of pliers to prevent oil spills; repeat the same procedure on the high-pressure hose. At this point, detach the reservoir and remove it from its place to replace it with the new one: it is recommended to also replace the supply hose, securing it to the bottom fitting of the reservoir with a clamp.

Then, attach the reservoir to its support and connect the return hose. Fill the reservoir with the specific hydraulic oil.
