drain/replace power steering fluid

[forestdan7]

I've been reading posts on this, and have a question or two.

When I drained the power steering fluid on my 60, following the FSM, I put the front on jackstands, pulled the return line and put it in a bottle, started the truck, and turned lock to lock till there was no more old fluid in there. Then filled it with fresh ATF, turning lock to lock till it was full and bled.

Is this the same procedure for a 22RE (87 4Runner)? Seems like it should be, but I don't have the 4Runner FSM.

Thanks.

Yes it is........
I didn't see anything in your post about not letting the pump run dry at all but I assume you know that.
You should really have someone to help you by pouriing while you are turning the wheel. That way the pump is never running and also "dry" at the same time.
Otherwise, you got it.

Dan, if you would take some pics and write a little something up for the FAQ that would be great! Probably a lot of people out there should be doing this....

I will for sure. Thought I might get to it tonight, but I painted my rusty faded hood instead.

Tomorrow night or this weekend, and I'll post it up.
