the way to bleed it is by turning the wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right until you hit the locks on both sides do that and then add more fluid if it needs it and then do it again until it doesn't need anymore fluid and the noise is gone. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>v-town coupe</b> <br /><small>Member # 2771</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,0,9,2,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> at the parts store we reccomend u install a filter in the return line cause sure u may have bought a rebuilt pump and sure its under warranty but who wants to keep changing pumps?

And if you're going to bleed the system you'll need to crank full turn to full turn several times then add fluid when necessary. I've alway found that its best to crack the lines to the power steering box just a tad to let any air out of the lines when bleeding. Then when fluid starts to come out tighten them down and continue to crank side to side and add fluid when necessary. You may even have to add after driving it a while as it can take a bit to work all air completely out of the system. Just recheck every so often. As stated before, a filter is a good idea and I'd also put a cooler on there if you plan on doing lots of road racing or hard driving/turning.<br /> <br /> <small>[ January 14, 2007, 08:16 PM: Message edited by: cummins ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
