I filled the reservoir, loosened, or rather never tightened, the out let pipe to the steering box, then turned the pump by hand slowly, using a rocking motion as I turned the pulley. When there was a flow without air I tightened the outlet and continued the turning until it got firmish. Which it will do as it fills the steering box. I then fitted the belt and started it up and way it went :) The reason I did the hand prime was mainly to avoid any dry start wear which could happen with the loads from engine drive.Quote:
