MOAR QUESTIONS:
should i just crank my steering wheel back and forth? engine on or engine off?

vaccum pump no vacuum

 

[youngbuckwithapickuptruck]

looks like a i figured out a setup that may work but now the pump isnt pulling vacuum. this pump was brand new plastic sealed in the box when i picked it up this morning, i even tested it and it worked. the last two pumps i tried to 'rent' from autozone wouldnt pump either.

any ideas whats wrong? i tried moving the steering wheel left to right about 20 times and it keeps bubbling air and if i go really fast, it seems to be sucking in air as it raises the powersteering fluid level to start spilling out the reseviour(sp?).

advice?

Are you trying to get the old fluid oit? Or refill and remove air?
