Re: '91 Lumina Euro power steering failure

I would think pulling the harness from the ICM (module under the coilpacks) would be safe.

When I flushed them I had a helper start the car and turn the wheel back and forth to the locks while I poured fluid in as fast as it pumped out. I'd have them shut it off when I was about to run out.

I used Dexron ATF for flushing, it's cheaper than PS fluid and has high detergency for cleaning. And it mixes with PS fine, long as you don't have an oddball car that requires mineral oil PS fluid, like some imports.
