Subject: Re: Power Steering Fluid leak by jhammons01 on 2009/12/2 21:18:51 So I took it all apart, and then let it slide for a month. I was really busy, my 8 year olds Soccer team was in the play-offs and we won league Champs. I am the coach so I was really busy with my spare time being devoted to the team. What was cool is, my 14 year old Son got tired of seeing the P/S pump, Alternator, P/S Res and Smog pump lying all over the garage floor. He is so good with his hands He yells at me that He is going to put it all back. I said OK, use these new craftsman Hose wrenches and put this hose here...etc.... Ya know what? That damn kid almost got the whole thing done in an afternoon. It's not often a person can look at something they didn't tear apart, and be able to successfully piece it together. Understand, this is the type of kid that when He was five, you could give him a 1000 piece Lego kit, He'd take it up to his room and three hours later he'd come down and have the exact duplicate of what was on the cover.....never asking for bit of help during the process. Anyway, we got it all put back together. I think I over filled it when it was full of air. The first night, I think It must have overflowed or something because there was a lot of fluid on the ground. When I checked the Res, it was full of bubbles and the thing was groaning like it was empty, put that was due to all the air bleeding out of the system. I thought due to the fluid that we didn't do something right and I was going to have to redo it all. But then, the next few nights it was dry under there and the fluid level is perfect. So maybe we got it right the first time. All Three hoses, the entire system cleaned up is what we did. Thanks for you Guru's help.... |
