Just replaced my power steering pump and is there a special way to bleed the system? I tried turning the wheels back and forth but I'm still getting a squeal from the belt. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Check the belt and tensioner as the tensioner and belt recommended replacement is 60k. Turn p/s to lock one way hold for 30 seconds then do the same the other way do three times that should bleed air out. Make sure fluid is full.
