Hello all,
I replaced the power steering pump on my accord 1990 dx this weekend. I used prestone certified power steering fluid for Asian cars to replace the fluid. Damn dealers parts departments are still close due to Covid.
I put the front up so no pressure on the front tires. I started up the engine and moved the steering wheel left and right ( way smoother turns compared to when the front tires are on the pavement) to get rid of the bubbles in the system. I did it countless times. I also noticed a feeling/subtle noise ( do not know how to describe it) when I turn the wheel while in parking.
Any ideas on how to remove the bubbles or check if there are any other leaks in the system?
PS: I want to take the old pump apart. IS the pulley nut reverse or standard? I noticed that pulley rotates counterclockwise when the engine is running ( me standing facing the driver's wheel)
