    This post makes me ask….Might anyone have a recommendation for a good hand operated vacuum for suctioning fluid out of reservoirs such as our power steering reservoirs?

    Despite attempting repair, my near 20-year old pump no longer works well.

    Jeff:

    Had one of those. Wreaked it the first time I used it because I sucked gasoline. Opps

    Thank you guys for the info and part numbers.

    I remember talking to some guy one time and he mentioned he just changed out the power steering filter and I went what filter is that! I had no idea that at the bottom of the reservoir there was a filter. Add that to the other 65 filters I have on board and you really need a spreadsheet to keep track!

    I’m going to try and siphon the fluid out of the reservoir with a drill pump.

    Thanks again.

    I’ve used one just like this for more than 5 years and it still works great. Used for transmission, hydraulic fluid in levelers with an older rig, and power steering as well.

    “Prevost” parts manual says that PS element #66-0528 fits buses E-638 to R-958,

    and

    element pt# 66-0987 is for buses R-959 to Y-7045.

    66-0987 crosses over to: Baldwin P528 and CarQuest# 85637.

    I use this HF siphon LINK tool for various jobs.
