Air Bleeding

  1. Make sure reservoir is filled before bleeding. Add fluid as needed during bleeding. Raise vehicle and support with safety stands. Disconnect coil high tension wire.
  2. Turn steering wheel lock to lock, 5 or 6 times, while cranking engine. Lower vehicle and install a 20" (500 mm) hose to bleeder screw of gear box.
  3. Place other end of hose in a container. Connect coil wire. Start engine and idle. Turn steering wheel to left lock and loosen bleeder screw. Repeat this until no more bubbles appear in container (from hose).
  4. Remove hose and tighten bleeder screw. Check fluid level, add fluid if necessary. Turn steering wheel lock to lock and note that fluid level in reservoir does not change more than 0.12 - 0.16" (3 - 4 mm).
    NOTE: Do not crank engine for more than 15 seconds.
    CAUTION: Abrupt rising of fluid level after engine is shut off signals incomplete bleeding. Repeat procedure as needed.
