**Note: Video is from a Camry Solara.
The P/S Flush posted is meant to be similar to that of a tC which also uses a Camry engine.

studying for 1st Gen show me that Line 2 in my pic is the return. So I am still confused lol. Here's the diagram. The full part number for the line in the diagram is 4440621110

Just my opinion, this is handier than the coiled hose and bucket in the video. Toyota uses ATF for power steering fluid and it'll ruin paint.
The 3/8" brass nipple fits the return hose. Everything stays inside the engine bay (where drips aren't as consequential.)
The bottle cap has an air hole to allow flow.



Before you change the fluid, get it hot. You want to trap as many particles in suspension as possible.
Three or four Figure 8's in a local parking lot should heat the fluid in no time.
Try to drain while the fluid is still hot to avoid particles falling out of suspension. May need gloves.
