fluid is clean and not agitated prior to use.
The power steering fluid should be poured
slowly into the reservoir to minimize the
possibility of aeration. The power steering

special tools, maintain a sufficient vacuum
of
38cm-Hg. If the vacuum decreases by
more than
5cm-Hg in 5 minutes, the system
should be checked for leaks.
Using the special tools, bleed the power
steering system in the following sequence.
1. Slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock once; then turn the steering wheel to the
right, just off the stop.
2. Using the special tools, create a vacuum of
38cm-Hg. Maintain the vacuum until the air
is evacuated from the system (minimum of
five minutes).
3. Release the vacuum.
