Power Steering Bleeding Adapter - Kent-Moore

Specifications

• Manufacturer: Kent-Moore
• Model Number: J-43485
• Product Name: Power Steering Bleeding Adapter
• Weight: 1 lbs

Key Features

• Airtight Seal: The adapter creates an airtight seal over the power steering reservoir cap, crucial for effective vacuum bleeding.
• Vacuum Integration: Designed to integrate seamlessly with a vacuum pump, specifically drawing 22 inches of vacuum using a J-23738-A Mity Vac, to efficiently purge air from the power steering system.
• Universal Fitment: This tool offers a universal design, accommodating various power steering systems in different vehicles, including those with longer power steering hoses that are typically more challenging to bleed.
• Top-Mounted Stopper: The stopper component is engineered to sit securely on top of the reservoir, facilitating the vacuum process without fitting into the drain.

Applications

The Kent-Moore J-43485 Power Steering Bleeding Adapter is used to remove trapped air from hydraulic power steering systems. It is essential for:

• Post-Repair Bleeding: Purging air after replacing power steering components such as the pump, steering rack, or hydraulic hoses.
• System Maintenance: Performing routine power steering fluid flushes to ensure optimal system integrity.
• Troubleshooting: Addressing common issues caused by air in the system, such as a noisy power steering pump or difficult steering.
• Automotive Service: A critical tool for professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts maintaining vehicle steering systems.

Benefits

• Restores Steering Performance: Effectively removes air, eliminating erratic steering and restoring smooth, responsive control.
• Prevents Component Damage: By ensuring air-free fluid circulation, it protects the power steering pump and other hydraulic components from premature wear and failure caused by cavitation and lack of lubrication.
• Reduces Noise: Eliminates the common whining or growling noises associated with air trapped in the power steering system.
• Efficient Air Purging: The vacuum-assisted method provides a quick and thorough way to bleed the system, saving time and effort compared to traditional manual methods.
• Ensures Proper Operation: Critical for maintaining the hydraulic pressure necessary for effortless steering, especially after system repairs or fluid changes.
