8. Refit the hydraulic hoses to the steering unit valve

9. Bleeding the steering hydraulic system:
Jack the steering axle up in the centre, so that the
load is off the steered wheels. Start the engine
and bring the oil up to working temperature of
approx. 50 °C in the tank.
Keep the engine at max. no-load speed.
Turn the steering wheel from one end position to
the other several times, thus bleeding the system.
