Power steering problem!! Some one Please tell me how to BLEED power steering pump?
After clutch replacement, steering feels weird. Some turning point is really light and some turning point is heavy. And now it's getting worse.
At some point, feels like power steering is not working. one of my buddy told me to try bleed power steering pump. Anyone can help me?

have you been doing donuts?
my power steering pump went out...the problem was when the car was at idle it would be hard as hell to steer then when i gave it some gas steering was a breeze...it made a whining noise when turned all the way to the left or right...luckily im under warranty and got it replaced asap.

You shouldn't need to its a recirculating system..
If there is air in the system just turning the wheel slowly left to right a few times should bring any baubles to the reservoir. The its just a simple matter of adding fluid.
Edit:
As a note this works for most vehicles i'm aware of

Did a quick check of the manual for bleeding the power pump its basically what i thought just with the engine off. I suppose you could do it with the engine on but it would take longer.
Manual Quote:
Perform air bleeding procedure as necessary after replacing
the steering gear, oil pump or the steering fluid lines.
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to GROUP 16,
Ignition Coil P.16-39).
CAUTION
Perform air bleeding only while cranking the engine. Do
not perform air bleeding while the engine is running. If you
do so, air in the fluid will be grained and air bleeding will
become more difficult. During air bleeding, refill the steer-
ing fluid so that the level never falls below the lower mark
on the dipstick.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right five
or six times while using the starter motor to crank the engine
intermittently several times (for 15 to 20 seconds).
4. Connect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to GROUP 16,
Ignition Coil P.16-39).
5. Start the engine (idling).
6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are no
air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is
between the high and low dipstick marks.
8. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level when
the steering wheel is turned left and right.
CAUTION
If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is stopped,
the air has not been completely bled. If air bleeding is not
complete, there will be abnormal noises from the pump
and the flow-control valve, and this condition could cause
reduce the life of the power steering components.
9. Confirm that the change in the fluid level is no more than 5
mm (0.2 inch) when the engine is stopped and when it is
running.
10.If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm (0.2 inch) or more,
the air has not been completely bled from the
