You have two lines on your pump one is a pressure line and one is a return line. What I did is to disconnect the return line and hook up a rubber hose to the line coming from the steering sector have it going into a bucket. then hook up another rubber hose to the return port on the pump, run it up above the pump to a small tank, fill the tank with the oil ( hydraulic fluid) start your engine and work the steering untill the fluid runs clean. a helper is good to have to work the steering wheel while you watch the fluid. Don't let the pump run dry. I used a small tank off of a small gas engine that I had, it was a clear plastic tank I could see the fluid level,I left the tank cap off so it would gravity feed and just kept filling the tank untill I got all the nasty stuff out. Mine was contaminated with water and some one had put atf in it. I put 134 hydraulic oil back in ,works fine. once you get it all flushed, change the filter in the resaviour hope this helps you thats how I did my ford 850. Jer

AL the pressure line will screw into the pump, the return line will just slide over a nipple and be held by a hose clamp. Jer

yep I don't know what type of pump you have. Do you have a Master parts catalog? 1953 -1959 ? if you do on page 3-32 and 3-33 shows the break down on both of the pumps, My pump mounts on the bottom of the reservoir as on page 3-33. If your reservoir mounts behind the pump as on page 3-32 then your return line is the one coming off of the back of the reservoir the pressure line is the one that screws into the top of you'r pump Jer
Al drop me a line e-mail is opean
