Power Steering Oil Change?

[Joey24]

Hey Ricey,

I changed the power steering oil this morning it was an easy job. Although I did struggle to plug the tank when I removed the inlet hose. For next time what do you use to plug the tank so there are no leaks?

I assume the same process applies for a VX commodore?

Thanks for your excellent advice.

We use a machine that has 2 pipes that go into the tank so we dont need to remove any hoses.

Umm I guess you could use a condom and a cable tie hahaha

one trick I've used over the years, grab a piece of rubber hose such as a power steer hose about 1.5" long, screw a bolt into one end then slip the other end over the hose/ pipe that's leaking out the fluid. instant plug, easy to make and it works. I keep a few in various sizes in my tool box
