dont feel so bad, i did the same thing, i used a syringe (sp.) to get the resovour empty then open the bleeder on the steering box and let it run til i saw red. i then let run a bit and emptied it again and continued the process til i saw nothing but red. took about two quarst (actually a lil more i was over cautious). its messy as heck but it worked.

thanks mike,
where is the bleeder located on the steering box,
and did you open it while the motor was on or off.
I have ran it about a week do you think it will cause any problems.
thanks

found the bleeder sucked out the resivour and dleed off all the nasty stuff(brownish redish greenish)flushed till red. cleaned the mess. test drove and lo and behold it worked fine even got rid of the vibe in the stering now it feels like its got a vibe in the rear but new tires tomorrow should fix that.
thank you

is there a less messy way to drain all the PS fluid besides letting it run out of the bleed screw and onto the floor? |

I actually did this before, and went to the dealer to have them deal with it. They told me not to worry about it, that PS fluid was fine. And I was out of warrenty, so would have paid. FWIW |

if your Disco is like mine....
just drive it around for a few days... when the fluid spots beneath your rig stop... refill with the proper fluid.
i keep telling my wife its a feature not a problem. its the rigs way of constantly flushing out the old fluid. |

Prevents rust. This was designed in around 1948. |
