July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Refilling & Bleeding System

  1. Fill pump reservoir. Operate engine until power steering fluid reaches operating temperature. Stop engine to recheck fluid level and add if necessary. Repeat procedure until fluid level stabilizes.
  2. Raise and support vehicle so front wheels are off ground. Start engine. Turn steering wheel from side to side several times. Avoid hitting stops or holding wheel in full left or right position. Fluid level should remain visible.
  3. Return wheels to center position and operate engine for 2-3 minutes. Road test vehicle and recheck fluid level. Fluid containing air will have a milky appearance. All air should be eliminated to obtain normal steering.
