IMCO External Steering
 

I need to replace the 4 hoses on my rams, easy to do, but how do I bleed the air back out of the system,

thanks for any help

anyone ??

just remove the hoses one at a time and replace, not sure if the bleeding is the same as an add-on but i bleed by starting boat with drive centered, check fluid, have another person standing over resevoir always adding as needed, while running slowly start moving wheel in 1/8 turn incriments R to L, always making sure its full, do this until lock to lock, after turning lock to lock turn R to lock and hold it there for 5 sec or so back to center, turn L to lock and hold it there 5 sec or so, this will bleed most of the air out, take your time and always turn the wheel slow

One hose at a time. Then after all done and tight you can clamp a large straight piece of radiator hose on the power steering pump (after you remove the cap) and fill the pump up and into the radiator hose a few inches. Disable ignition (pull lanyard) and crank engine while turning the wheel lock to lock a few times. Check the fluid, repeat then flip the switch and fire it up. Keep fluid at the ready and top off if neccesary.

thanks guy's, I was thinking the same but wanted to ask the folks that had done it. Cheers

Just like the others stated. Start the engine and turn the wheel loc to loc about 20 times. Watch your fluid level.

That's a pretty slick trick.
