Position a container under the steering gear to collect the oil.

Use a rag to catch spilled oil.

Disconnect and release the pipe connection nut. Pull the pipe out of the steering gear housing. Immediately plug the opening in the steering gear housing and the pipe.

Empty the delivery line in to the container.

Thread the connector nut and delivery line behind the steering gear housing and under both delivery lines.

Position the delivery line between the car body and the cross member (bend the pipe if necessary). Pull out the delivery line by twisting it 180 degrees around the steering gear housing. Remove the O-ring.
