Hi every one

Ok today i put it apon myself to comvert my VL from manual to power steering

. I got the new rack , pump & the new hose's instaled so anyways i started the car to bleed the lines but the stearing is as hard as fcuk , it did suck down some fluid & push some air out but its still verry hard to turn the wheel

. has onyone had this problem when converting the're VL to power steering ?

Yeah its all fixed now . I had a custom hose made for my VL , fitted it up n realised (after starting the car and trying to turn the wheel) that i had the high presure hose where the low presure one was ment to go

. Repco wanted $300 for a high presure hose , so i decided to take the cheaper option by getting one custom made $80 + $12 to change the fitting to the correct one . All good now
