3. Fill the power steering pump reservoir with Premium Power Steering Fluid E6AZ-19582-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33F.
4. Disconnect the two distributor electrical connectors.
5. While adding approximately 1.9 liters (2.0 quarts) of fluid, turn ignition switch to the START position, and crank the engine with the starter motor. As soon as all fluid has been added, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
6. Attach the power steering pressure hose at the steering gear.
