Power Steering Pump

Hi All,

Reassembled my engine bay on my classic after it was stripped down for paint.

I went to top up my P/S pump with atf and went to turn to left to right to bleed it.

So after running for a few seconds the steering moves itself and the pulley on the pump locks up solid then moves again freely, screech's as well.

There's no problem turning the pump by hand.

Its almost like the return and feed lines were mixed up (there not by the way). I've never seen the like, reservoir is full also about 3/4 of a litre went into the system.

Everything worked grand a few weeks ago before it was disassembled.

There's no leaking from the o-ring between the reservoir and pump either
