Power steering pump replacement questions:
A couple of questions:
1. The pulley and shaft both came out of my old pump, so I'm having a tough time removing the pulley from the shaft to re-use on the new pump. Which way are the threads? Is it lefty-loosey to get it off or the other way?
2. Once I reinstall the new pump with the pulley and get the belt on, do I need to flush the power steering fluid system or just add new fluids and let it run? I heard someone mention something about air in the sytem being bad.
Thanks,
Ian
