Terrified and about to Reseal Hydraulic Steering

Hi All!
I have 1979 Sundeck trawler (skyline 39) with leaky helm pumps. A previous owner has added transmission fluid and the manufacturer of the helm system (Wagner) calls for Shell Tellus 10. Since this is no longer available Shell tells me that S2 BL 10 is the new product. Today I received the smallest container (18.9 liters) of this product. I have a seal kit for the rudder cylinder, one for the 701 lower helm and a kit for the 700 upper helm. I will just try to drain all the old fluid out, refill and bleed then pull the helm pumps to fit the reseal kits. What should I watch out for?
