my husband has a 2000 Ford Ranger. He needs to know how to bleed the rack and pinion or how to change the fluid in the rack and pinion and the power steering pump.2000 Ford Ranger?You can only drain it out your self , However take it to your nearest Mechanic and they will flush it and replace the fluid, You see it is hard to do at home without the right equipment . It won,t take them long and not that expensive, good luck2000 Ford Ranger?I agree on taking it somewheres to change out the fluid as drainign it yourself, you have a habit of adding air to the system and causing more headaches.
to bleed, turn steering wheel back and forth with the front of the truck in the air.. do this for a few minutes and then drop the truck and check for feel.. if whining noise and/or hard steering, you must do it again...
Sometimes it requires a special tool and a vaccum pump to accurately do the job .. but most bleed out this way...
AND MAKE SURE YOU USE MERCON OR MERCON V IN THE POWER STEERING!!!!! Most use power steering fluid which is too light for the ford power steering and can cause leaks
