Flush Power steering fluid

Im sure it is possible, but I just remove what is in the resivour periodicaly with a meat baister.

I don't have a Camry but here's what I do with mine.

1) Remove the return line hose. Plug another hose into it which drains into a gallon container. Empty plastic milk bottles work great. 2) Lift the car up enough so the front wheels are in the air. 3) Crank the engine. 4) Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left then all the way to the right. 5) When all the fluid is drained, turn the car off. Make sure not to prolong this as the steering system isn't lubricated. 6) Re-attach the return line to the reservoir. 7) Refill the fluid in the reservoir. 8) Crank the engine again and refill the fluid. 9) Turn the steering wheel left and right and keep refilling until the system is finally full. Make sure to do this while the front wheels are still in the air. 10) Make sure to check for fluid levels and leaks for the next 2 days.

Good luck.

Thanks for the information. I will try to do this over the weekend

Peace S

I've been told (and read) to bleed the system with the wheels JUST TOUCHING the ground.

It does not make a bit of difference. LOL

I wouldn't do that. Seems like it's better to just use the 'turkey baster method' and have the chance of a harmless little bit of old fluid in there rather than risk running the system without fluid at all.

Agreed. Hydraulic pumps are not meant to run without oil. DUH

I agree with that,... gradually replacing of old for new fluid that way is good enough considering the service interval.
