Hey guys,
So after replacing a bunch of stuff on the car I'm having a little difficulty with this. Is there a non-messy way to bleed the PS fluid after replacing essentially the whole system. I have a brand new rack and a new pump. There's a ton of air in the system after filling it and burping the system so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to bleed it without just.... (sigh) unhooking a hose and having it just spew fluid all over the place. I know if I were at a Toyota dealer they have a machine they hook up to the fill cap that basically forces the lines full and removes the air via the machine by doing this. Any input? Trying to finish everything up after replacing half the car lol. |
