Adjustments during/after M100 steering box reinstall

I removed my steering box and had it rebuilt. I am reinstalling it Monday and looking for tips/advice on things to do during or after the reinstall.

I searched the forum and know I need to purge air from the lines and adjust the stops.

Any tips for that? 

Any other advice?

The air will purge automatically. When I got my coach the pitman arm wasn't centered so the coach
wouldn't turn as far one way as the other, so make sure it is centered. There is a screw that needs to
be adjusted too stop the steering before the stop are hit. I can't remember if there is one screw or
two and it is too wet for me to look right now, Some one else may be able to add more.

The air will purge itself out when turning lock to lock. Best to do it before hooking up the pitman arm as that is what Red head suggested. If they rebuilt yours the stops should be where they were before.
