Preparatory works for the hydraulic power steering pump removal
Start by removing the serpentine belt of your Dacia or Renault Duster, click on the below link for details:
Disconnecting the power steering fluid hose
Locate well your power steering pump and steering liquid reservoir, and follow the hose that connects them...
...then pinch the hose which connects the power steering fluid reservoir to the hydraulic pump with grip pliers and use long nose pliers to take off its clamp:
Then using a large flat screwdriver, take the hose off the pump and keep it hanging upwards away from the pump, nevertheless, do not do so before having placed:
-a plastic bucket beneath the vehicle;
-a thick rag between the hydraulic pump and the alternator.
This is to avoid having the hydraulic fluid dropping down to the alternator and the floor.
