How To Remove Air From Power Steering System WITHOUT Bleeder Valve (Andy’s Garage: Episode - 142)

Andy Phillips shows how to remove air from a power steering system on a vehicle without a bleeder valve. Trapped air can cause the power steering to make a whining noise, and potentially cause damage.

Below are other videos of mine that may be useful:

Thanks for making this video you saved me money I was about to change the power steering pump but all it was was air in the system after changing the line's cheers mate good vid 💯💯👍

After pulling the power steering pump out to replace the a/c compressor on my 2003 Tacoma and installing the power steering pump back on it just would not work like it was suppose to, but after watching your video and you mention that it took you at least 20 minutes I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. Other videos did not mention it could take that long, so that part helped a lot.

Glad you made this video mechanic wanted to charge me for putting a new pump plus labor I did what you said and it fixed love you saved me $500

Wow that’s an easier way of getting air out of the power steering issue bro. Great video. Thanks

[federico]

I'd like the way you explained the whole procedure how to remove air bubbles in the steering system. It was done very professionally and very specific. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. 👍

[KennDewh]

THANK YOU! I just replaced my power steering pump but it's hard to steer. I wasn't sure about the bubbles coming up from the reservoir. The two videos I watched that helped me do the replacement for my particular make and model did not cover this little detail. They just showed hooking everything up and topping up the fluid. This video tops off those two and shows me what I need to do. Thanks again! Good job!

Thank you so much! I took my ford Taurus into shop to replace serpentine belt. The shop did not put any flyids back in my car, let alone bleed. They were so ugly to me and told me they didn't do engine work and i was looking at at least $500 just for labor. My car has just been sitting because they got $2, 000 almost for the belt and back brakes. I was so discouraged that i couldn't even drive my car and now i was going to save up more money for a new ps pump, hoses, etc. im going to tey this this week and pray it works. My mind has hust been baffled. I didn't know what i was going to do.
you so much for posting and all of the

Thanks for the education ! I started hearing the sound and the smell a little bit ago. I had an estimate for the air conditioning. It has not been working from day one. The price was too high. I knew something was wrong because of the sound. They indicated the power steering fluid was low. I was not going to take my car to have someone fix it. So I found your video. Followed your instructions. Now my car is running perfectly. When I bought my car I decided to take care of more issues by myself . I am having a tremendously fun time. I am grateful for your help! Also I found someone who is fixing the air conditioning for one third of the cost. Proactive!

Thank you Phillips. I have to redo it again, now that I understand that can take 20 or even more time depend of amount of air.

Worked great on my 2003 Chevy, I tried factory method, 5 other methods, none worked. Your method worked because of doing it with the truck running and the cap off and the length of time, you mentioned that it could take 20-30 minutes which is exactly what it took mine to finally bleed all air out. I did however, raise the front off the ground which is important to help save your suspension, tires and steering components if doing it for 20-30 minutes.

[bertlindquist]

Thanks. Fluid dropped down on the belts, so after I tightened the screw on the power steering upper tube line, I just had to get the air out from the system. It worked great the way you recommended it - moving the steering from left to right ✅ Thanks so much.

Great vid showing a simple technique that works. One thing I would suggest... when doing this, jack the front up a little, just enough to get the tyres off the ground by only an inch, and maybe put a block or bricks underneath, this way going back and forward turning the steering wont tear the crap out of your tyres, and it lessons the strain on the power steering pump too !! 👍

[djzach]

This took the wobbling out of my steering! Thank you!

[redhandedreviews]

I did the same thing to my 05 grand cherokee 5.7 limited. It does work. It was on a new pump installation.

[carlosarturoberon]

Perfectly spoken and presented video. Thank you. Best I've seen.

[ceciliacubias]

Thanks a lot for the help!! I do appreciate it. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Thanks again. God bless!!

I flushed my power steering on my 200k subaru and it was whiny and was foaming like as if it had rabies. I did the trick as mentioned and it worked. No foaming and pump is quiet. Ill follow up if goes rabid again😂😂

[cristnuishope]

EXCELLENT! I had heard the same exact noise went to check the fluid and it was low. Filled it to correct level but still have the same noise. Thought it was the pump until I saw your video. Problem solved! Thanks again!
