I have a 230 Alpha 1 in which the upper power steering hose appears to be leaking. I have a new hose to replace it but can't find any info on the proper procedure. Namely, will the hose fill with fluid and trapped air be removed after installation by turning the wheel back and forth a few times with the engine running...or, must the hose be pre-filled with fluid?
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has done this.
Thanks!
Tim
