power steering pump still leaking

Hook up the pressure line. Leave the return line disconnected from the pump. Jack up front of truck, and support it on jackstands. Point return line into bucket. (make sure it's gonna stay.... might have to hold it there.) Grab a friend, stick friend in drivers seat. Grab a BIG bottle of PS fluid....... Make sure pump is full, have friend start truck, and turn wheels from lock to lock. SLOWLY. You watch fluid coming out, and make sure the pump doesn't run dry. If you have to, have friend turn off truck while you catch up. Keep doing that till the fluid coming out of the box is nice and clean. Put return line back onto pump. Start engine, crank wheels lock to lock several times. If the fluid gets all foamy, shut off engine. Drink beer. Smoke cigarette. Check fluid again, if it looks ok now. Start engine.... etc. Air in the system will be bled out, and if there is any in there, the fluid will look foamy. When the system works nicely, doesn't make rude noises, and there are no air bubbles in the fluid, you are almost done. Top off the reservoir, put the cap on, and put the truck back on the ground. Drink another beer.
