Makes it much easier on the pump when the tires are in the air. <br /><br />Though if you only replaced the pump and the rest of the system had fluid in it you are probably ok to just fill the pump and turn it lock to lock on the ground <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
