So, does the Serpentine belt need to be removed for this?
2 graphics say to remove it, and then one doesn't say anything about it at all. It appears that Edgehead's post is the closest to correct. But don't you need to have the engine running? Or do you just turn the steering wheel manually with the engine off?
Also, it says to do this 35 times lock to lock? How much fluid is required, based on it being constantly lost into the waste container?. I ordered 2 liters of Pentosin, but I am thinking I may need 2 more liters, or even 6, to go for 35 cycles of the steering gear. Anyone who has done this, please tell me what your fluid consumption is per cycle, and how much total Pentosin you needed to complete the flushing cycle.
Does anyone have the MB part numbers for the hoses? Since I am doing this, I would like to install all new hoses in my power steering system. My car is now 18 years old, and I doubt any of them have ever been changed, especially with only 30,000 miles on the vehicle.
Thanks, everyone!
