According the manual, I should just "drain the hydraulic oil from the reservoir and replace it".
Any recommendations on some extra cleaning to get debris or water out? Loosening any hoses on the steering house hydraulic sectiopn to make sure all oil is really out? Any filters or tight spots I should take extra care off?
"loosen the drain bolt and drain the oil". Thanks very much TM. We spend TWO HOURS on trying to get the @#$#%$^%%$$# square plug out of the round hole. Impossible to get any grip on that bolt (unfortunately, the truck was delivered without the proper tool to loosen that bolt).
EDIT: we could not get any wrenches on it properly and when we managed could not get enough turn on the thing or put enough power on it to get the bolt to turn: too much lines and other stuff in the way. In the end, we made a small window in the side panel, that helped just enough to loosen it and get the first 1/4 turn. After that, it was a easy turning and time to clean up the hydraulic oil mess that spilled everywhere (especially on my cloths).
