Title: P.S. filter question
Post by: 69280sl on April 15, 2006, 21:37:10

Dumb question. I wanted to change the power steering fluid filter in the bottom of the reservoir, but could not remove the metal baffle that is above it.
Do these lift out?, screw out, or, is there another way to remove it?
Thanks
Gus

Hi Gus,

The plate simply lifts out.  I take it out using a small screw driver and stick it through the hole on the plate.  With the screw driver at an angle it will help to remove the plate.

Thank you very much Bob. I was lifting up with a hooked coat hanger, maybe I'm weaker than I thought. I'll try it again with a screw driver blade.
