Can I use the Motive flush system to flush out the steering fluid?

Here is the item -->

I am thinking about building the pressure at the reservoir with this and then opening up the return hose - atleast a good majority would be flushed, yes no ?

Thanks

I think the valving in the rack will prevent complete transfer. If it doesn't, gravity should do the job without any induced pressure. You'd also have to fabricate an adapter to fit the top of the reservior. You can get most of the fluid out by diconnecting the big banjo bolt near the bottom of the fan shroud. Do that 2 or 3 times and you've gotten about 95% transfer, close enough for me.
