@@fishingwithaustin8258 True dat! I'm sorry if I came off wrong. I just spent my morning replacing the bleed ports on mine because they were so buggered up I couldn't get the bleed hose to seal. Keep up what you're doing this is good information.
I followed your instructions and I didnt get tge same results. I worked on it fir over an hour but still had air in the system. I did midify your idea and bked at the bleed ports . That seemed to help.
Check for anything loose, another alternative to me bleeding through the rear; was tightening both rear fittings and leaving the console cap open, turning the wheel all the way one way, pouring fluid in, going all the way back the other way, wait a few seconds and let the bubbles come out, and do that until it is topped off to your liking and put the cap back on quickly.
I'm thinking you probably should have purged the old fluid before putting in new? (Not that you would have known that before you added the new fluid) The color of the fluid on the second rotation looks bad. Rust or some other contamination that would damage the pump? Other than that, pretty straight forward.
Loosening the fittings allows the hydraulic fluid to circulate, if you leave all the bleeder screws closed the air cannot come out so you will still have hydraulic fluid with a big air bubbles trapped in the system. Look at bleeding brakes and that should explain it.
guy seems like he knows what he is doing but the use of the wrong tools on each end is just a great way to destroy the equipment you are working on.
I agree it was a lapse of judgement at the time, we’re all human

@@TonyHines83 I’m not mad because I totally agree with you. Hopefully you get them flushed out and back to working order soon!

Thank you for this video. I have to do this. What is the purpose of loosening the fittings?
Loosening the fittings allows the hydraulic fluid to circulate, if you leave all the bleeder screws closed the air cannot come out so you will still have hydraulic fluid with a big air bubbles trapped in the system. Look at bleeding brakes and that should explain it.
How do seal the tube to the oil container?
The oil just leaked out. I couldn't tighten it. Did use a cheap hose and connector?
Thank for the video.
I had to either tape around the end or wrap a towel around to seal it up, quick fix
Did you crack the back fittings back open once you hooked up the hose to both bleeder valves?
Yes!
Simple to the point 🤙🏾
Hey coast guard buoy tender in the background!!
That’s right!
Thank you for the video
Great video, can you use this method for the initial fill and bleed on a new system?
Yes!
when youre done, i gess u close the bleed ports and remove that hose..but how do u disconnect the bottle and hose without oil spilling all over!!??
Tilt the bottle back down normal and unscrew the hose with a rag and plug the hole as soon as you can
If you have poor/no steering check for failed fitting.
Get ur self some wrenches good video though
