Once you replaced the parts all you do is fill the pw/steering reservoir start the eng. and turn the wheels side to side all the way pausing about 1-2 sec at stop. Check the fluid often as you may have to add. these sys. are pretty much self bleeding, unlike the brakes. Hope this helps. Please click accept for me.Images available only to Customers.
