    I have the 355 up on the lift right now, did the engine/tranny/brake/coolant and am going to do the PS fluid as well. What is a good drain point for the PS system?

    I may be talking out of my behind but I recall reading that the power steering system does not have a drain plug and hence the fluid can either be siphoned out from the tank or from disconnecting a line (and turning the wheel lock to lock to get the fluid moving)?

    No drain point. You use a hand pump to suck the most out of the reservoir and then take the drip as it comes. The closest thing to a drain point is the connection of the hoses at the firewall.

    Sounds like a drain point to me.

    Here is the procedure in the 575M WSM and you have the same union on the F355 hydraulic steering. Details are obviously different, but the steering box is very similar.
