I received the power steering valve by mail and would like to clean it out. Does anyone know what to use and how best to do it? When I turn the shaft it gurgles and spits but I'm not sure what to do next. Also, below is a diagram of the PS system and I would like for any of you who know which is the pressure side and the suction side of the system to help me be sure I have it right. I have #9 as the pressure and # 6/8/12 as the return. Is that the way you see it? It's hard to see it on the picture but #9 goes into the valve at the "In" port and #8 goes to the "Out" port and #7 goes from the "Aux" port up to the lift valve. The other issue I will have is that I have the other style lift valve and will need to convert the ends of 1862 lines to the old style fittings. Any experienced person want to chime in on this? The ram lines and ports are marked clearly and should be no problem. The picture sorta makes the lines look real long but in real life the bottom of the valve to the bottom of the lift valve is only about 10 inches.
That makes #7about 10 or 11 inches long. #6 will be about the same but will go to the "T" fitting.
