A technician is bleeding air from a hydraulic power steering system. of the following statements are true about this procedure EXCEPT. A. Raise the front tires in the air. B. Turn the wheel from stop to stop to bleed air from the system. C. Flush with fresh power steering fluid. D. Hold the wheel for at least 10 seconds at each steering stop.

The correct answer is B. Turn the wheel from stop to stop to bleed air from the system.<br /><br />When bleeding air from a hydraulic power steering system, it is important to raise the front tires in the air (option A) to ensure that the steering system is properly aligned and to prevent any air from being trapped in the tires. It is also important to flush the system with fresh power steering fluid (option C) to ensure that any air or contaminants are removed from the system. Holding the wheel for at least 10 seconds at each steering stop (option D) is a common practice to ensure that all air is purged from the system.<br /><br />However, turning the wheel from stop to stop (option B) is not a recommended procedure for bleeding air from a hydraulic power steering system. This can cause damage to the steering components and may not effectively remove all the air from the system. Instead, it is recommended to slowly and steadily turn the steering wheel while holding the wheel steady at each stop to allow any air to escape.
