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?

- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Are you trying to get the old fluid oit? Or refill and remove air?

^^^i was trying to bleed air out of my power steering system after swapping my steering rack.
i think i broke my clockspring while trying to bleed my power steering.
i think i may have turned my steering wheel over a full rotation when i was reconnecting the intermediate shaft (never read or saw a warning about this)
and then when i was bleeding the system by turning left/right, i remember feeling slight resistance turning right and then it finally gave way and let me turn to "full lock" this must be when it broke
now i am hearing a plastic dragging noise inside my steering wheel, my horn doesnt work and my airbag light turned on.
advice?
any tips for jimmy rigging the horn to work?
