How'd you get these clips off?

From what I can deduce, the smaller port on the base of the reservoir is the return line.

Cheers. It's not a electronic pump it's just a manual one. Could that do damage/how would it damage it? Would I have to jack the front tyres up off the ground or is there another way like putting cardboard under the wheels?

I was going to pump out the old oil in the reservoir remove the return line (blocking off the return nozzle on the reservoir) then refill the reservoir with clean fluid & vacuum pump the old stuff through the system while drawing the fresh fluid through and topping the reservoir up as I go but I...

Which is the inlet and which is the outlet hose on the steering fluid reservoir?

Do you have a picture? I'm trying to think what it looks like.

Will this stuff do? https://ebay.us/m/ZXSZt7 How much does the system take?

Just looking at vacuum pumps before your post lol. Looking at youtube tutorials.

I think the oil might be black looking which indicates its contaminated.

Ah! I've downloaded whatever this is. It came up when looking g for the RAVE. Can you download the proper RAVE on android?

I'm a real numpty. I can't see it?

Cheers! So new fluid to begin with? Which section would it be under in the RAVE?

Is it easier to remove from the bottom if I have to?

Presumably I'll have to crawl under the car to hear it?

Only thing is it's been a year without noise & the sound gets worse when I turn the wheel. I've still not got an engine stethoscope. Annoyed that the noise started out of nowhere.
