Nope unless you have lift or a pit to work out of or a hand pump and tubing. The car needs to be level to make sure the fluid is drained and replaced. Typically you fill until it just overflows very slightly.

Thanks got it.

Turns out I did not need to lift the car. I requested the wife to participate and it turned out fine. Filled until it started to trickle. Done.

Did my Powere Steering too. Sucked it dry and fill. Will do this every 2 weeks until I see pink.

Congrats on the '04 PB, grabber2. Looks like the car even still has the blue tinted rims that came with the car. That's the only time they ever did that, I believe. I also like the black wood and ecru seats in the '04 PB. Very classy looking.

my wife loves the PB SC, it looks hot at night. But with the tinted wheel, the car does look a little girly /Gay during the day. Want to get a set of nice 18"/19" to change that appearance,

Original post deleted due to excessive mean comments.

In the spirit of the holiday season I hope someone gifts you a paint job.

OK. Let's remember the rules here. In order to post comments about your butt looking big in a Santa suit, or about girly colors, or to post unenlightened comments in general, you really should have the word "guy" somewhere in your Username.
Since I don't qualify, let me close with the observation that the light blue in question is actually pretty nice.

Let me clear up on the color issue.

The Azure Pearl color looks nothing but luxury!!!
Went to the dealer to finish the paperwork today and parked my SC in the front. Dozen of guy walking circle on my SC and said the color combo looks so luxury. Friends and neighbor got the same impression. But I think it look even hotter at night

Only issue is the tinted Azure Pearl wheel, which i initially planned to replace with a set of 19" MRR GT1 (Chrome or hyper silver) & maybe a front lip. I'm sure it will get rid of the cute/gay/girly sht......no more comment on the color issue please.

I'd hang on to those rims if you have them replaced. I've seen people looking for them on here. They are definitely one of a kind.
