How to bleed power steering?
Had the pump & reservoir off for access and now get screeching from pump, obviously needs bleeding. Steering works OK and tried winding from lock to lock. Is there a bleed point or technique?
Any help appreciated.

Thanks guys, useful inputs.
Actually I was a bit embarrassed when I found the problem, the oil level was too low.
I checked with the dipstick and it showed right at the bottom of the 'cold' scale, so I thought I would top it up later. When I came to top it I found I had to put in quite a lot before the level (on the dipstick) started to rise. The dipstick indication was in error. Once topped up to the right level the noise went away.
