Default Powersteering bleed tool.

Does anyone know where I could find a powersteering bleeding tool.
And some one told me that I could bleed it by jacking the car up and turning on the car and moving the steering wheel left to right.

Default RE: Powersteering bleed tool.

I don't know about your 1979 Accord, but most of them bleed themselves when the steering is turned fully one end to the other.

After turning back & forth, the reservoir might foam. Let it settle & refill if needed. If it continues to suck air in, you have to figure out WHY. Holes in the suction hose? Plugged screen in reservoir?
