BLEEDING POWER STEERING SYSTEM
NOTE: Pump ring is treated which leaves a dull gray-
black finish on wear surface. Wavy grain appearance
inside pump ring is normal.
4. Inspect pump shaft for score marks, excessive wear,
or damage
-
particularly at splines, and at bearing and seal
surfaces. Separate and inspect rotor and vanes for wear and
general condition.
5. Inspect shaft bushing in pump housing, and replace
pump housing if bushing is scored or excessively worn.
6. If any internal parts are found to be worn or damaged,
flush steering gear or disassemble gear and clean internal
parts.
Disassembly
Refer to Figures 3B3-65 thru 3B3-69 for pump
disassembly and assembly.
Fluid Level
1. Run engine until power steering fluid reaches normal
operating temperature, (approximately 170 degrees F.) then
shut engine off. Remove reservoir filler cap and check oil level
on dipstick.
2. If oil level is low, add fluid No. 1050017 or equivalent
to proper level on dipstick and replace filler cap.
NOTE: When adding or making a complete fluid
change, always use fluid No. 1050017 or equivalent.
3. When checking fluid level after the steering system has
been serviced, air must be bled from the system. Proceed as
follows:
a. With Wheels turned all the way to the left, add power
steering fluid to "Cold" mark on dipstick.
b. Start engine, and running at fast idle, recheck fluid
level. Add fluid if necessary to "Cold" mark on dipstick.
