 Versions with screw (20 and 128):
Open the topmost screw (20 and 128, respectively) until nothing but oil is coming out.
Re-tighten the screw (20 or 128) using a torque of 12+3 Nm.
 Versions with set screw (20 and 128):
Slacken the collar nut (21 or 129) of the topmost set screw (20 or 128) until nothing but oil is
coming out.
Re-tighten the collar nut (21 and 129) using a torque of 20+10 Nm.
The hydraulic steering limitation must be checked after bleeding.

Open the screw plug (335.4) until nothing but oil is coming out (Fig. 8).
Then close the screw plug again.
