You can disconnect the return line route it into a bucket. Then start & turn the wheel slowly. Add fluid until you get clean fluid coming out the return. Reconnect the return line top off and your good.

Add a filter in the return line after you have done the above. The fluid coming out of the container is not really clean enuf. Ford uses an initial fill with filtered fluid.

If I remove the return hose and start dumping clean fluid into the pump, will the clean fluid drain out of the pump through where the return hose connects of is this a one way route? Do I need to cap off the port where the return hose connects to the pump until I am through adding clean fluid?
