Steering ( update

[DAK]

Mike,
Even tough a brake hose was replaced, the brake and steering circuits
share a common resevior (and one feed line to the pump). So, the fluid
does mix.
Hmm, re-read your note... Did you replace a brake line that carries
brake fluid, or a brake assist line carrying hydraulic fluid? Ignore
this note if it was the former!
