no, the intermediate steering shaft is completely independent of the power steering fluid operation. Make sure that when you remove the shaft, you DO NOT move the steering wheel. The clockspring inside the wheel is very easily damaged. no, I don't see why.

What is Saturn vue intermediate steering shaft?
It is the connection between the rack and pinion unit and the steering mechanism/column. It is routed through the firewall and has a rubber boot where it passes from the interior to exterior of the vehicle. There are two U-joints on the shaft (one inside and one outside). There was a TSB or technical service bulletin advising to replace the bolt that attaches the shaft to the pinion system. Even though this has been recommended there are several (read a whole lot of) mechanics and parts folks who say it is better just to replace the entire lower/intermediate shaft.
