1. After any operation in which the hydraulic fluid lines were disconnected, it is necessary to bleed the hydraulic booster system to remove air.
2. Turning the front wheels all the way to the left, check the hydraulic fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If it is low, add liquid until it reaches the mark "COLD" ("Cold") on the probe.
3. Start the engine and let it run at fast idle. Recheck the fluid level and add more if necessary to bring the level up to the mark "COLD" on the probe.
4. Bleed the system by turning the wheels from side to side without hitting the stops. This will force air out of the system. Do not spill liquid from the reservoir.
5. When air is purged from the system, return the wheels to the straight ahead position and run the engine for a few minutes before shutting it off. Recheck fluid level.
6. Road test the vehicle to make sure the steering is working properly without any noise.
7. Recheck the hydraulic fluid level, making sure that it reaches the mark "NOT" ("Hot") on the dipstick when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Add fluid if necessary.
