I redid my power steering myself. it is not to difficult you just need some time to bleed the system so doing it in the evening is the best cause you have all night for the air to work its way to the top of the system. If you want, we might be able to figure in some time for me to stop by and help. Are you pushing a small amount of white smoke when you start the old girl up??? - and i am not talking about the peace pipe..lol
