The method for bleeding a power steering pump is: 1. Select a plastic tube, connect one end to the power steering gear bleeder plug and immerse the other end in a container filled with hydraulic oil; 2. Start the engine and let it idle at 1000 rpm for several minutes, while repeatedly turning the steering wheel to the center position 5 to 6 times; 3. Loosen the oil plug to release air from the system. The above steps can be repeated several times until there are no bubbles in the pipeline, then finally tighten the bleeder plug. Power pumps are mainly divided into steering power pumps and brake power pumps. The steering power pump, as the power source for vehicle steering, is the heart of the steering system. The brake power pump is a large-diameter vacuum chamber, with a diaphragm in the middle equipped with a push rod that divides the chamber into two parts: one part is connected to the atmosphere, and the other part is connected to the engine intake pipe through a pipeline.
