just bleed them the same as any other car, the east bleed system works quite well and it can be done with just 1 person
dot 5 is recomended for the brake fluid and as far as i know power stearing oil is just that.

one of my friends recomended putting a drop of slick 50 in the ps resivior, i cant confirm if he had been eating mushrooms or smoking waky baccy that day but he seem pretty adermant that it work a treat
