I just replaced the power steering gear box in my SUV but I can not figure out how to fill it with fluid. I filled the power steering pump but I am not seeing any bubbles or anything when I am turning the wheel. Not sure how to bleed this system since I am sure there is air and the gear box has no fluid.

Jack up front end then turn to lock one way hold for thirty seconds, repeat in other direction do that ten times should get air out, check fluid level when done. Also, make sure lines are hooked up correctly.
