Hey All,
Alright, bear with me as I'm sure there have been some newbie mistakes I need calling out on.
I noticed the stock PS Pump on my 60 had sprung a leak at the shaft and was slowly spraying ATF all over the engine bay and ordered a reman replacement from Rock Auto. Finally got the "new" one in and failed to heed the warnings to flush the system. Installed the pump and it screamed and shook. I attempted to bleed the system of air, flush using the return line disconnect method, but finally the pump gave out entirely. I figured it may be the pump and ordered another. This time I got myself a vacuum kit and ran ATF through the system until I felt satisfied. Installed the new pump, same s*** happened.
Now, do I need a new steering rack? Replace the lines? What is this new kid missing?
Any help at all is appreciated, thanks for your time.
;TLDR
Replaced pump, pump died, replaced again, died again. What gives?
