[Shotimes] Getting Air out of the Power Steering

[Steve Weinrich]

The procedure to vacuum purge the PS system is in the Helms.

It involves a big rubber stopper, a vacuum pump, and hoses/fittings to make
it work.

It does sound like the seals in the rack are toast, though.

> Well, here's my stupid question for the week:
> This goes to Steve W. or anyone that has experience with it.  What is the
procedure for getting air out of the system using vacuum?  I replaced my
pump several months ago (big thanks to all who helped again!) but I think it
might still have air in the system.  I have tried purging several times and
this usually involved sucking out the reservoir and adding fresh fluid and
the symptoms usually go away for a week or so. My symptoms are groans and
pulses sometimes and especially at low speeds an increase effort for a few
seconds like the pump is not pumping fast enough.  Is this air or is this
something wrong with the VAPS?  Please tell me it's air...
