Bleeding Power Steering?

OK so my power steering line broke and I bought a new one, replaced it and filled it back up with fluid. BUT, now there is air in the line and it makes some horrible sounds when I start the car and also when I turn the wheel.

How do I get the air out of there? Is there a bleeding valve?

Hey bro. funny you should ask this as i was trying to find the same information out the other day. As it turns out, any air bubbles will eventually work themselves out of the line. You are SUPPOSED to let the line sit overnite (or for an extended amount of time) after you refill it to "allow it to settle". Alternitavely, after refilling the system, turning the wheel back and forth repeatedly will do the same.
This is all from things i've read so take the advice with a grain of salt as i'm no mechanic. All in all from everything ive read and everyone ive asked, air bubbles in the system will not destroy your power steering...they will just be annoying until they work themselves out.
I plan on replacing my power steering reservoir with a billet Weapon R tank tomorrow, so i'm sure ill be right back here tomorrow nite seeing if anyone else has added any input
