Hey what is going on guys. I have performed a DIY video for changing the power steering lines and reservoir for any nubee or just the regular wrench turner that might be a little unsure of the procedure. I will be conducting a few DIY for the mini R53 community. As small as these cars are they can be quite complex at times. Good luck wrenching and if there is a specific DIY you guys want to see then let me know and if there is enough request i'll perform the DIY for you guys.

If you pull the center section upwards on those Pentosin cans, they become integrated pour spouts. You don’t need to remove the whole piece.

There’s really no reason to pressure test those lines. If they’re wet at the connections, they’re almost always on the way out if the leak isn’t from a worn reservoir gasket or just normal overflow out the vent on the cap.

 

I was being super frugal and wanted to make sure i got every drop

 

One other detail was that I couldn't get the large hose loose of the reservoir and the housing below. I had to remove the housing and pull it out the top with the reservoir. I then separated the hoses out of the car.
