Ok understood. In the write up, we filled the front shocks with slightly more fluid. As we tightened the shaft assembly we left the bleeder ports loose and finished the bleeding process. Pushed in the shaft a short amount and no more bubbles came out. I think method 2 is acceptable but...
Regarding the bleeding process ntm... Correct me if I am wrong...
Definition of bleeding is: reducing the volume of the fluid containing space such that all air is excreted out via bleeder ports. I see two ways of achieving this:
1. Reducing volume by starting the IFP in the non-maxed-out...
Yep! Thanks ntm for stressing this important point. As I stated in the bottom step 2 in post 16. The dividing piston or the internal floating piston (IFP) must not already be in the bottom position. You must make sure the area below the IFP is fluid (not air) use it as a syringe to bleed the...
22ft centurion avalanche 3600lbs dry weight + trailer, ballast bags we dont drain sometimes, and gas comes to about 5000-5500lbs, no problems.
i use a tri ball hitch (no drop)
Good point! A couple things to mention regarding that:
1. Since fluid is uncompressible, the amount of fluid that drains out, must be the amount of fluid that goes in.
2. Gauging purely on bypass diving piston (air+fluid separation point) is not necessarily a good way to judge the amount of...
Anytime! We're all just trying to give back to the community. If anyone has questions regarding the rebuild or would like to get a more technical understanding of how these work, feel free to PM me.
Just to clarify, at the end of the run I wanted to sit in the mud bath kinda like what a pig does thinking it would dissolve some of the mud from my underbody. I was pretty nasty going through every single mud puddle on the run.
Yea pump swap and you should be golden. The stock rack and pinion is pretty solid. Keep us updated!
If you happen to do it again (hopefully not) pay attention to the steering wheel and you will feel a slight grind. At that point you can say RIP to your stock pump.

Noah is absolutely right. I haven't had a power steering go out in a while. All you need steering is to initiate drift, and if you are cranked to the end or going hard against its will, you will ruin the stock pump.
