[QUOTE="*Jay*, post: 16412760, member: 108453"] What exactly was your process when you were bleeding your PS pump, if the engine was running right away that could be why you toasted it. When I changed the PS pump on my wifes Legacy I got the front wheels up off the ground and with the steering wheel unlocked and the engine off I went lock to lock at a moderate pace for about 10 minutes straight. Bumped the ignition over a few times and did another 10 minutes lock to lock with the engine off. Checked the fluid level, had the wife go lock to lock a few times while watching for any bubbles. With no bubbles had the wife start the car and watched the fluid level and listened for any squealing/bubbles. If there were any bubbles or screeches from the pump I killed the engine and did another 10 minutes of lock to lock. When I saw no bubbles at idle and everything sounded normal I had her go lock to lock with the engine running. When I saw no bubbles and heard nothing odd with the engine running and going lock to lock I called it good. It still took a good 2 weeks of her driving the car before all the air was completely bled out, she was still having an occasional stiff turn during that time. [/QUOTE]
