12. From under the car you are now ready to install the power steering pressure and return line. The
pressure line has 2 threaded ends on it. The pressure line has to be connected to the lower port on
the rack and pinion assembly and goes to the top port on the power steering pump assembly. The
return line gets connected to the upper port on the rack and pinion assembly and pushes on over the
nipple of the plastic reservoir of the pump, then tighten all connections. You can now fill the pump
with power steering fluid. Start and run the engine for 5 seconds and shut it off. Do not turn the
steering wheel. Top off the fluid and restart vehicle. While running turn the wheel slightly right to left
and shut vehicle off. Check for leaks at this point and top off fluid level again. Start vehicle and turn
SLOWLY right to left to bleed air from system. Check for leaks. Verify fluid is topped off and get
vehicle to a qualified shop for an alignment.
