Bleeding Federal Power Steering pump

watchdoc said
Resevoir was leaking on my 71 340 Dart with Federal pump. Power steering worked fine. It was just leaking. Removed pump and replaced large Oring around the housing to fix the leak and the seal on the back where the bolt goes thru. Also replaced the return line but not the pressure line. Reinstalled, filled with F type ATF to the bottom of the neck. Jacked up the front of the car and worked the wheel back and forth a good 30-40 times at idle and couldn't get the fluid to drop. I even took for a short drive but no luck. I'm guessing the box itself went dry while pump was out but not sure how to get it to prime again.

Tips or ideas???,

It shouldn't need anything else done because the pump is a hydraulic type and circulates the fluid even when you are not turning. (though they do get aerated)
If you have power steering when driving you are fine.

I will tell you though, that only filling them just to the bottom of the neck at first is a good idea, because while they are working the aeration out they can overflow if filled to high until the air is out of everything.

In short, turning it left and right a few times after the fill is all they really ever need.
