2. Remove the oil in the power steering reservoir (5).
3. Remove the power steering supply line (6) from the reservoir.
4. Remove the return hose from the power steering pump.
5. Remove the high-pressure hose (2) from the power steering pump.
6. Remove the power steering pump by removing the two bolts (3) attaching it to the engine block.
7. Remove the reservoir if necessary, by pressing out the c-clip (4) using a suitable tool.
The only hose I see on the pump is the High-Pressure Hose.
I agree, but the hose #6 comes from the radiator and another hose comes from the steering gear and goes to the radiator.
The fluid leaves the reservoir via that flange and goes directly to the pump, exits the pump via the high pressure hose going to the steering gear, exits the steering gear to the radiator and returns from the radiator to the reservoir via hose #6.
You can see that hose #6 comes from the radiator.
I think they have an error in their write up.
