Bleeding the New Jeep Steering Gear
I have the new jeep Gear and hoses back in my Cutlass, now I have to bleed the system. I have seen several different procedures.
One says just to turn the wheel lock to lock many times WITHOUT starting the engine. Another says to turn lock to lock but with the engine idling.
Any recommendations?

Engine running.
Turn the wheel lock to lock a whole bunch of times with the wheels off the ground, until it pretty much smooths out and quiets down, then drive it for a few days and the remaining air will bleed off slowly.
There is no way to get it completely bled off in a single session because it foams.

Steering gear box. The one form the Jeep Grand Cherokee (93-98 or thereabouts) has a faster ratio, as do some new or rebuilt ones you can get from the auto parts stores. Rock Auto has a listing for a 10:1 fast ratio gear box if you don't want to install a used gear box off of a Jeep.
