I have purchased a plastic syringe and flexible tubing. I will use it to remove old power steering fluid (I know it is tranny fluid) from the reservoir, so I can introduce new fluid into the system.
The tubing is flexible clear tubing. When I look at the reservoir, and the size of the hose that connects the reservoir to the pump, I think I might be able to push the plastic tubing all the way down into the pump (ie. inside the hose that connects the reservoir to the pump). This would allow me to pull out a lot more fluid.
Question: Is there any reason I should NOT attempt to push the flexible clear tubing down into the pump (if it will go easily)?
ps. I intend to do this when the pump is cold (car not run for at least 8 hours), as I don't want to risk hot fluid melting the plastic tubing.
