Re: Bleeding Power Steering w/Hydroboost???

Sounded pretty good, so I checked the level and went for a drive.

Stopping felt fine, though later in the trip I did notice the humming when applying the brakes and the steering was a little whiny BUT seemed to operate okay.

Was I supposed to plug the opening at the pump where that HB line went to? Was it sucking air when I was shooting into the bucket?

Or do I just need to keep turning the wheel back and forth?

Thanks
You did fine. Just make sure your reservoir is topped off and cycle the steering again a couple times.
