[SOLVED] POWER STEERING HEAVY PLEASE HELP

Hey guy, I have a 2003 Cl55, I just rebuilt the tandem pump and put it back in the car after it was leaking. I started it up and it no longer leaks and the car goes up and down, but now my steering wheel is ABSURDLY heavy? Any thoughts from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Power Steering Heavy

So sorry fellow CL55 er. Assuming the ABC fluid reservoir is full, the ABC blleeders need to be cracked open to vacate large gaps of air in the line.

did you turn your wheel from side to side multiple times while refilling reservoir to get air out of power steering?

Check the wiring on the sensor that's on the rack and pinion. The wires on mine broke off and now the steering is very heavy. Doesn't bother me enough to fix anytime real soon though.
