After asking around on the forum, it has come to my attention that I probably have air in my power steering fluid. How do I bleed the power steering system? I helped my dad bleed the brakes on his '67 Spitfire, but he is not sure how to do this.


On a side note, anyone make roll cages for Cougars?

This may not be the best way but it is how I did it. Pulled return hose at the cylinder let fluid drain into can as wheel was turnrd lock to lock 3-4 times. Reconnected and refilled system.

Hmmm...ok, I guess I will give that a try next weekend. Thanks!

There are instructions for this in the shop manual. If I recall correctly, you are supposed to take off the dipstick and turn the wheels lock to lock back and forth several times.

Jim's method is the right one... There's nothin' to it...

Logan, do you take the dipstick off and turn the steering wheel when the car is running or not to bleed any air out? Thank


Steve
