power steering pressure line

[ram 50 1989]

I replaced the pressure line on my 89 dodge ram 50 pickup how do you bleed the line to get the air out thanks.

I can't say difinitively, but it is basically a small hydraulic pump with a reservoir, and it will pump the air out on its own as it circulates the fluid. It's not like brakes.

Here's a generic procedure....

Service and Repair
1. With fluid at room temperature, ensure reservoir is at correct level.
2. Allow fluid to settle for a minimum of two minutes.
3. Start and run engine for a few minutes.
4. Add fluid as necessary, then repeat above steps until fluid level is constant.
5. Raise front wheels off ground.
6. Start engine, then slowly turn steering wheel left and right, lightly contacting stops.
7. Stop engine and check fluid level, fill as necessary.
8. If fluid is extremely foamy, let stand for a few minutes, then repeat procedure.
