I usually jack up the front end to purge the air out of power steering...... No stress on the system that way. (whips less air into the fluid...)
Jack it up, make sure fluid is full, start engine, crank steering lock to lock a couple times. Recheck fluid.... lather, rinse, repeat. If the fluid looks foamy, leave it alone for a while for the air to work its way out of the fluid before doing it again. (leave engine off for that.)

Yeah, I've gone through that a number of times now. They said I could be sucking air in or the pressure valve is sticking. Smeared grease around the connections, cycled some more, never saw any air pockets in the grease so just tightened all the fittings again. Cycled some more, checked temps and seemed ok. Test drive and occasionally, much less frequently and very randomly, there would be no power coming into a turn or to a stop. I hope it's just a little bit of air and not the valve. I put Royal Purple in and that stuff is expensive to be draining off.
With power though it feels pretty nice around the block a few times.
ps-during this process I found that I have a driver hub bearing going out too. yay
