Dan, be sure and FLUSH that PS FLUID, not just drain it. There will be some
left in there if you don't. After refilling with ATF, and best donecwith
front wheels of the ground, but not totally necessary, cycle the steering
all the way to the stops BOTH DIRECTIONS several times with the engine
running. The PS pump will be engaged that way and after a few cycles all
air will be purged from the system.
You may have to   add a little more ATF.
