I have removed steering cables and lost some fluid.I now have some slack in the steering .How can I get fluid back into the line? Must I bleed the lines?? If so how ? Do we have articles on this?
Thanks Freddie O

freddieO You said [removed steering cables] or are they hoses? If you have a hydraulic system you should bleed it. It is like any other hydraulic system (i.e. car brakes)
You could post pictures on your very own personal page. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

If you do have a hydraulic system.. Look at pages 15,16,17 and 18.
