1998 Ford F-350 how to bleed the power steering pump

1998 Ford F-350 mileage: 140,000. I have replaced the power steering pump on my F-450 diesel pickup. My power brakes work off the power steering pump. How do I "bleed" the power steering pump so my brakes work?

They should be self-bleeding. Work the brake pedal several times and turn the steering wheel several times. If this does not work, you may have a faulty pump.
