****EDIT******OK never mind. I screwed this one up. Some how when i put the bango bolt into a bag to keep it "clean" i got a piece of dowel in it. I think it was the same bag i used to hold dowel pieces for a bird feeder i made my wife. Man i feel dumb now

 

 

 

Does anyone have any tricks to bleeding the power steering? it's taking forever to do on my 97. I've gone lock to lock almost 60 times now, and the steering is still really stiff.

if it is still stiff there is something else wrong.

 

does it have enough fluid?

 

is the belt in good condition?

 

is it making noise?

 

what caused you to ''bleed'' it in the first place?

 

what are the symptoms now and what were the symptoms before you started working on it?

I was going to rebuild my power steering pump (slight leak), but then i realized i'd been give the wrong gasket set, so i put it back on.

 

basically i took it out of the car and put it straight back in. Now it doesn't work, and doesn't even make a sound when you bring it right up to the bump stops. I'm guessing dirt might have gotten in the system when i had it off.
