Lenny Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Greetings all, About to refill a 2nd hand unit. just fitted. When slowly turning from lock-to-lock, should bleed-nipple be open whilst engine runs with resevoir cap off? Or does that process come last, engine off? I've also read not to hit full-lock in the first instances. Dangerous. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vougese39 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 firstly leave the bleednipple closed and just start the engine and allow the pas fluid to flow through the system then slowly turn from lock to lock you will feel the air as the steering tightens up do not rev leave at idle. if it still feels dead spotted then leave the wheel straight ahead and open the nipple and allow some out top up and retry the lock to lock it should be ok then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Ok thanks. So only open the bleed valve when the wheels are in the straight ahead position, not turned atall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 While on the steering box subject; Can anyone give the thread size of the largest thread on top of the box for a re-tap? - hose from PAS reservoir screws into it with 17mm spanner i believe.
