1989 10 meter steering issue

[dmiller]

I have a 1989 10 meter, and the steering isnt working. Hydraulica are fine. How do I get at the guts of the steering wheel under the dash?
Any ideas on what is wriong? It is a hydraunic system.

I split this from the manual topic as its a different problem and that was a year old thread .

Also I recommend you post more info on the problem .

I had the same problem this spring. Reservoir had plenty of fluid but I got on line and googled Hynautic steering and followed the directions to bleed air from the system and now it works as good as new. you will need a small bicycle pump or some sort of air pump. total time 20 minutes...

try this link it is a copy of the installation and bleeding procedure

Good Luck.

check the pressure gauge on the resevior. sometimes the lose pressure while sitting. happened to me one spring . bike pump and bleed system. its really easy to do. make sure you have a friend to turn the wheel while you turn the bolts, much quicker with 2 people. also check your fluid level while your down there
