Quick question: Going to be replacing PAS reservoir in a few days and my neighbour is going to give me a hand getting it onto axle stands. Having never done anything like this before I have no idea how to properly use an axle stand and I would prefer to know where to mount them rather than assuming my neighbour knows.

The PAS reservoir is just under the bonnet. You don't need to be jacking the vehicle up and using axle stands for that job.

Here's a youtube vid showing someone filling the new fluid into the new reservoir and connecting the return pipe to the old reservoir. To flush through. He looks like he's using a jack but then again he's also using red fluid. Personally I can't see why it must be jacked up. Why not just jack one wheel off the ground if you are worry about loading the steering up?

It's because you can't turn the wheel without the pump running.
