YJ power steering pump
 

My power steering pump was leaking - so I replaced all the seals -
reinstalled -bled the pump and now it's not right. It doesn't leak - but
the steering is tough.

What did I put in wrong?

Anybody have any links to Do's and Don'ts?

There isn't that much that can go wrong. When I replaced the reservoir
in the ZJ I do remember the first few times the steering was difficult.
After running for a bit it got better so I just assumed it was an air
bubble that needed to work out of the system.

Hi Chuck,
If it's hard to turn only to the left, you have air in the steering
box, loosen the bolts on the sector end plate enough for it to leak out
at that O-ring.
