Hey guys. I'm about to start working on the same thing. I'm going to guess that there is going to be a lot of fluid lost when disconnecting the hoses and replacing with new hose clamps. Is there a DIY procedure for adding the new ATF? Do you have to drain all of the fluid? If so, where do you drain from and how much fluid will I need to refill the system? Is it just a fill and go or does it require anything else?
If you replace the LOW pressure hose, then this is the procedure:
1. Remove Plastic Splash shield under the car (8-mm sockets)
2. Locate the PS Hose (the low pressure hose), cut the factory clamp and drain fluid into a container. About 0.5 qts will come out.
3. Remove Air Filter/Air Mass Housing, it will require some wiggling but it will come out (see pic above).
4. Replace Hose.
5. Fill PS Reservoir with fresh ATF (Dexron-III or Mobil1 ATF).
6. Start the engine and check for leaks.
7. To bleed air out, turn Steering Wheel completely R and completely L a few times so any bubble in the system comes up to the reservoir.
8. Stop the engine and check PS fluid level again.
You are done!
