All you have to do is fill it full of fluid and crank the wheel to the extreme right then extreme left several times until the air finds its way out..

Remember it uses mineral oil.. Not prestone.

It shouldn't matter.. You just need to make sure it stays full as you bleed it

Are there any whining noises or leaks? And what quality replacement pump did you put in.

They say 10 times back and forth.. But be sure to go to the extremes or your wasting your time..
