Hello folks

I need to repair a hydraulic leak and in the process, I have to disconnect the power steering hyd fitting that connects to the hydraulic pump. I'm definately going to lose some fluid in the hose which will be replaced with air. Does any one know if I will have to bleed the system, or is it self bleeding? If I do need to bleed the air, does anyone know if their is a specific procedure for this? Thanks.

Hi Larry,

FWIW on my prior SOB coach built on a Freightliner chassis, the steering sector had to be replaced. They worked for several hours trying to bleed the system and had the best success with elevating the rear of the coach for the air to "rise" to the tank on the rear of the coach. I know this sounds hokey but they actually called their engineers in Gaffney at their manufacturing facility for help. I don't believe that you will introduce this much air into your system, but I thought I would share Freightliner's experience with you.

Thanks Rick! Gee, I hope I don't have to do that. I guess I should call CC.
