How to fit powersteering tank

Hi guys,

I just bought the Forge expansion and power steering tank. I would like to know if there is any specific way to install the power steering tank? Do you need to bleed the system etc. if so how?

Thanks!

hey.
since you're not opening anything in the system you probably wont get any air but wont hurt to fill it and turn the wheels locl to lock a couple times . and check level again . do it with wheels up .car on stands . less load. can just make sure new tank has to and from and good to go .
