I think the procedure for bleeding the system is to raise the front wheels off the ground, have the engine running, and slowly move the steering wheel from rack to rack. This forces fluid through the system and the power steering fluid reservoir should act as a bubble trap. Keep an eye on the resevoir as you do this, if the level comes down you did in fact have air in the system. Top the fluid level off and you should be good to go.

Good luck!
