Default Anyone add hydraulic bleeder tees?

30 spectre with marine machine hydraulic steering, aeroquip 401-6B fittings on hoses; Had to change one out, thought I had it bled pretty good but steering is sloppy. Wondering if anyone has added bleeder tees to a system like this. I haven't seen any tees with 45 deg SAE (5/8-18) threads. I think someone mentioned that the marine machine cylinders have 1/4 NPT fittings---could probably find a bleeder T to fit that. Wondering if anyone has blazed this trail, could point me in the right direction to find the part. thx

Never had an issue bleeding the steering to warrant a bleeder.

As long as you follow this procedure you should not need any other way to bleed.

That's the correct procedure. If it doesn't bleed using this procedure there is a leak. A leak may or may not leak fluid...
