power steering pump replacement

Hey guys i've been searching but can't find anything telling me how to do it. Could someone point me in the direction of a write up or something... I have no problem replacing the pump its self, it's dealing with the power steering fluid that I am worried about... like i am sure it needs to be bleed but i dunno how and also what kinda fluid do we need.

Thanks guys i've been without my powersteering pump for 2 months now...give me any heads up too!

if this is your first time working on a car, don't take it personal, but you may have more on your plate than you can handle.

To bleed the pump, fill the reservoir up, turn the car on and turn the steering wheel end to end back and forth to work the air bubbles out. The bubbles will work out into the reservoir and you will need to add more fluid to get the level back between the min and max lines.
