Changing power steering fluid

Recommended Posts

Right, I've had to take the power steering pump out of my car while I did my rebuild, so obviously it's dropped it's fluid (into a neatly placed container of course! ;) )

 

What's the correct way of re-filling the system, as I know I don't want to run it dry and knacker the pump and the rack???

 

Anyone know?

i usually fill up the system with the engine off.....then prime it by disconnecting the hal sender and turn it over for a few minutes....usually there is bubbles and a drop in the fluid level...

 

U probably wont get all the air out untill u run it

 

HTH

 

if different, let me know how u actually do it - incase i've got it all wrong!

I've just done it by hand so far... No P/S belt on, top up the fluid to the max, and then sit and turn the pulley by hand for a few minutes.. then lock her over side to side, and turn it some more...

 

..seems to have worked so far... Guess I'll find out when I try and start her when I get a starter motor that works... :roll:
