possibly a dumb question

quote: why would it blow the seals if there is nothing comming in or going out? If you ever turning your box with the hoses disconnected you will see why.
quote: what should be used as fluid? I just used power steering fluid. Disconnected the lines then popped them on, did not measure. Just a note: This isn't the proper way to run a sterring box but it will get you around...slightly more effort than a manual. I drove around with this Jerry rig for 2 years with no problems. But then I also drove a bug with no starter!
