Default Power steering centering setup question

What was the fix again for when the OEM power steering pulls the steering wheel super hard after being re-assembled.

I think it is the ram centering procedure. I dont have any info on that. Is there any wisdom that can be followed for the centering procedure?

This is not for my car, but someone elses. I've got R&P.

Appreciate any responses.
Brent.

Mine did that right after I added PS fluid and put a belt on it (it came without either when we bought it). Kind of freaked me out until I did a little digging. The PS control valve needed to be tweaked just a bit. I'll look for the link and post....

Here's the procedure http://willcoxcorvette.com/instructions/POWER_STEERING_VALVE_ADJUSTMENT.pdf

There is another link with photos but all of the info is here.

Please heed the warning about starting the car with the front end suspended. That wheel takes off in a hurry!
