- How to bleed Power Steering System the RIGHT WAY! Bleed Powersteering
► Our Website for Tools, Parts and more Videos: mechaniclifestyle.com
In this video we are showing you how to bleed the power steering system on your vehicle. If you have replaced the power steering pump or a high pressure powersteering hose than you WILL HAVE TO bleed it or you are risking to damage your power steering pump.
If you start the car without bleeding the power steering system it will foam the powersteering fluid and it may creat air pockets that will make your pump to run dry and it could damage it.
If you hear a noise coming from the power steering pump after the repair than it means that there is still air in the system.
You will have to lift the front end of the vehicle up in the air so you can freely turn the steering wheel and not have pressure on the lines( do not start the car) until you bleed all the air out.

Good job man
I like how this guy has a team working with him.
Christopher Greene a sporty, team, at that.
It may be an older video, but the advice worked on my 22 yo car. Found some air bubbles, and my pump sounds much better now. Appreciate it.
Great video, clear sound and picture. Instructions are simple and presented efficiently, to the point. Thanks a lot for taking the time to film, edit and post. Good luck and all the best!!!
Much appreciated, had a loud pump, thought I needed to replace it. I had added power steering fluid a while back and knew nothing of bleeding the system. After seeing this, went out, turned the wheel a bunch, then started it (cap off) and did the same. Much more subtle and will monitor it as time goes by. Thanks for taking the time to help.
i had a noisy power steering pump, i did this and now its fixed no more noisey pump thanks very much saved me $$$$$
World Mechanics does it again ! 7-9-23 and it's the best video . Helped me get a Honda Ridgeline whine gone gone gone.
Definitely always impressed with your knowledge. Hope you're still making videos and your driver is still around making the wheels turn. A man needs great dedicated help. : )
Thank you for this as a poor guy I’m also my mechanic! Learning as I go
thank you very much for this video. I did it the way you explained and it took care of the issue I was having perfectly. I'm sure you saved me a visit to the mechanic. I'm definitely subscribing.
Thank you so much for making this video! During the winter, my power-steering pump got extremely loud and I was really worried I was going to have to have to get a new one. I followed the procedure exactly how you showed it and my pump sounds like new again. I actually just did it a couple hours ago. Thank you so much!
Joshua Appleton how long did it take you
Ily thank you
Thank you! This helped me cure my problem! Had no power steering fluid, and was making noises very similar! Thank you!
I have never seen it done without running the engine. I'll try it your way. Good video
Great video. Great explaining process. Thank you...
Followed your instructions, worked.
Thank you
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much
Great video very helpful getting ready to replace a power steering cooler on my 03' PT Cruiser thanks 👍
Great video. I'm glad the spillage was wiped up it was driving me crazy 🙂
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!!
This helps a lot man. I'm gonna do the new Rack & Pinion and pump in my 2000 Ford Windstar like this in just a few minutes.
I had never heard of bleeding Power Steering like you do brakes with vacuum. The instructions called for a J 43485 adapter and they are a fairly expensive adapter that fits in place of the reservoir cap so you can put 20 in vacuum on the system to draw the air out like brake lines.
I didn't want to buy the adapter. I've spent hundreds on this thing already. Thanks for this! 😀😀😀
Worked perfect awsome video my 1988 jeep yj back in business. Thanks
Helpful and no fluff before getting to the information you came to find.
Thank you so much for the tutorial
After changing my steering pump, the next day car would not turn. Steering locked . Your video was right on time.
Thanks
Awesome video thanks very much from the UK
💯 I've watched this video and I love it great job you nailed it
Thanks, been adding fluid for years since mechenic changed pump gonna try your trick
Thankyou mate great video was able to quiet down my power steering pump today after bleeding for 20 mins . On my Ford Ghia V8 Keep up the good videos
Thank you for the awesome video. Your a lifesaver
Thank you I forgot this part and was panicking about the noise.
Great vid
Thanks. Your advice saved me hours of frustration of trying to do this with the engine running. :-)
Is it suppose too be off?
I was too lol
thanks for the help. just finished replacing mine..
Awesome thank you this is the correct way in doing this
Just wanna say thank you for this .my power steering was driving me crazy plus it was trying to drive it's self. But t thanks to this. I got a idea this is my problem

😂 lmao
Bruh the lada's are well known for smashing your thumb
I’d believe it
Thank you so much
Legend, thanks mate
Thank you!
Thank you it help me
So you can do it perfectly fine like this? I've seen people using hand vacuum pumps. I replaced my power steering pump fyi.
holy crap, I came to learn how to do this (in general) & it turns out thats my exact car....well mazda's version, but same same. thanks for the help.
Handy to know cheers.
Thank you
Is that Borat?!? Awesome video. Subscribed.
thanks
Love the disco/porn music. This is just so damn funny!
it's the same process for the Ford Taurus 2003 ??
Vacuum pump is definitely needed on some cars and you MUST repeat the procedure several times people. Let it sit overnight if time for it with cap off so bubbles work themselves out of system. Repeat next day. ALWAYS check fluid level during the process.
Thanks
Great video. I love how you explain everything. I have a new pump but it started making lots of noise almost right away. I don't think my mechanic primed it correctly. Thanks again. 😁👌
He probably just installed it and filled the reservoir and sent you on your way. Sad that a mechanic would do this. :( when installing a new pump you must always bleed it!
Do I need to drain all power steering fluid out before adding lucas power steering stop leak?
Can someone tell me if I need a jack stand for this or can I just turn the wheel on the ground from left to right????lmk asap
I’m doing this rt now
thanks//// Dasvidana...
I heard Preston recks some power steering pumps...
what happens if I leave the cap on the power steering resevoir While bleeding air from system?
Nice . Just like huh, 👍 Shout to the crew .. I'm subscribing
Thanks guys! My instructions that came with my new rack n pinion said I needed to run a suction pump, (with a non sealed connection, as far as I can tell), and I was thinking that doesn't make sense at all! #1, if your going to use a suction pump, you MUST seal off the inlet, the connection, so that it sucks from the farthest point, drawing down on the entire system. And #2, once you're done, how do you KEEP the system in a state of vacuum,, while you add fluid? They didn't explain this AT ALL, making it seem very improbable and inaccurate. I think you CAN use a suction pump in a good way, they just didn't explain it very well at ALL, but you don't NEED to, in a system that is designed to flow, I e. very probably push out any air bubbles by moving the system, first manually, then from the pump, then a full run through of operation, once you've don't the others enough. Thanks again! Btw, where'd you find that Head Turner, I mean Steering Wheel turner. I need to find ME one like that! 😄😋
Wouldn't it be better to tske the old fluid out of the power steering resovoir, replace it with new fluid, and then bleed it?
They did when they put on a new pump or line
What if I dont have jacks? If the vehicle is on the ground will this work?
Also I tried to bleed the power steering through the tube that connects from the reservoir to the steering pump and no I don't think my steering pump is sucking any of the fluid in it won't rotate it just stays in the reservoir and the reservoir floods when I slowly turn the wheel air bubbles coming out
I did this after replacing my power steering pump on my 2003 Crv. The power steering pump, is getting very hot. What could be the issue?
Yes I definitely learned using the wrong power steering fluid it will leak have to use Mercon
Nice Vid. What does it mean when the engine is running and it starts bubbling and coming out of the reservoir cap vents
It means there is air in the system that did not get bled correctly. It shouldn't be bubbling obviously and also try not to overfill it.
Do you do this with the engine off ??
Do you need a new power steering pump to bleed or old one ?
always take time to remove and clean out the remote reservoir ( if equipped) before the system refilled & is restarted ...slime and debris will form on the screen inside to reservoir ( most have a careen or a fine mesh filter) and that junk will restrict full flow back to the pump, creating more hard to trace issues.
Excellent point! I'm going to replace a high pressure hose on a 2001 PT Cruiser because it is soaked with fluid, even though I didn't detect a leak from it, and now that you pointed that out, I am wondering whether the problem is actually the screen being dirty; I will DEFINITELY check that screen out, and clean out the whole reservoir; I also bought a power steering filter; no leaks from the rack-and-pinion. Again, thanks for the reminder!
I did the process the car stopped making the noise in the air once i dropped ot down it started making the noise again
Thank you !!
Aren't you suppose to turn on the car after putting in new fluid then turn ur wheels/steering side to side? This is the first time in heard that u don't turn on ur car while moving wheels/steering side to side. WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY , I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ACCORD , PLEASE HELP.
So I dont have to bleed the system with that pump? I just replaced my water pump and had to remove the power steering pump and hose.
+Shaji Ali if you removed the low pressure hose you will probably not need to bleed it.
Russian (or some european im not familiar) always have us American’s hooked up with good info.
Can you explain why the vehicle needs to be jacked up for this? Sorry if this has an obvious answer.
No problem at all, the vehicle needs to be on jack stands because it will be easier to turn the steering wheel without starting the car and being in the air there will be no resistance on the powersteering components. If it is a lighter vehicle you might be able to do it without being jacked up
T
It's also the best way to get all the air out
It also wont wear a bald spot in your tires, and wont leave a black mark on your garage floor.
The air in a closed system with pressure against it will act like a ball and bounce back and forth and/or compress. Giving it the least resistance possible, by jacking the vehicle up in front, allows the trapped air to be released more easily. It's not intuitive, but it works, on little cars as well as Kenworths.
@@Imbored558 u do it while its off?
What if you did it while the car was running so you have to let it sit now?
How do you get the steering wheel to turn with the car off and in park? My Jeep feels hard to steer that way, should I power through the weight or lift the front tires?
Sorry just realized it’s on Jack stands
Does that work with a diesel / hydro boost?
Joe Garwood Yes it does, I just did my 04 Dodge 2500. If your truck is around the same year as mine or say make, go through the wheel well it’s the easiest way to get to the power steering pump, you also have to pull the air condenser out or the giant hose connected to it to get your pump out through the top of the engine compartment.
I replaced my power steering pump then done this and worked for a little then stopped 😅
My 2005 dodge neon is currently leaking power steering fluid profusely. Here's hoping it'll be a small, easy to fix, CHEAP issue.
haha love this video, he knows his stuff loll...I love the towel he took from his lady, and has her sitting in the driver seat...BOSS
how did you remove the old fluid?
I was asking myself the same question ifnu found a better and easy way to change p.s. fluid let me know thanks.
He didn't say. He did say something about replacing a pump, but I'm not sure if that's what he did.
I prefer to just drain and fill every few years (turkey baster). Some folks say to not even bother with draining and refilling.
my steering wheel keeps locking whenever I try to turn the wheels when off. Is there any way to go around this?
put the key in the ignition.
Uhh and then turn it one click without starting I assume he meant to add lol. Never had a car that unlocked the wheel from just putting the key in alone. Sorry to nitpick, but Patrick seems like he isn't aware of this function on a vehicle.
Fair point... Furthermore, if the car is in a state where it is permanently off, and it is necessary to utilize the wheel, or to put an automatic transmission into neutral, etc... There is another place for the key, usually located near the gear selector. This is know as the shiftlock.
This may be useful in a situation where turning the key to auxiliary does not release the steering wheel.
put the key into accessory right before it turns on when your radio turns on . it should allow you to turn it all the way
Those chrome skull and crossbones emblem tho!
Throw your tires in the air, and wave 'em around like you just don't... ok... I'm drunk...
