I just replaced the power steering gear box in my SUV but I can not figure out how to fill it with fluid. I filled the power steering pump but I am not seeing any bubbles or anything when I am turning the wheel. Not sure how to bleed this system since I am sure there is air and the gear box has no fluid.
