You need to let the fluid drain out and then squeeze a little more out by cranking the wheel each direction at least once. You don't want it bone-dry but you'll never get it bone-dry anyway. Then get like a clutch resevoir and drill a big hole through the cap. Then you'll need to rig up some fittings and hoses with T's...

I was never happy with it so I swapped in a manual rack. Turned easier that way. I hate having anything on the car rigged up.

All Sedans came with Power Steering.
