there is a 10mm bolt on the rack where the pipes all go in
undo this
pull the 2 pipes out
let the fluid run out
catch it quick time
turn the rack side to side to get rid of the rest


it's a bit tricky to get the pipes out mind, the crossmember is in the way

or

takle a pipe off the pump and let most of the fluid out that way

Go to your local garage and use their fluid siphon,much easier than pissing around takin pipes off and getting the fluid over engine bay
