Howto bleed power steering?

Hi all. One more quick question for the night. When I turn my wheel I can hear the air bubbles crackling through the power steering ...um ... pump ... I would like to bleed it and get rid of the bubbles, but I have no clue where to start. Anybody have any tips? I looked it up on google and it says to just turn the wheel from lock to lock at 2000 rpm... but I tried that and it didn't work. Maybe ours has something special to do?

Thanks

Did you uncap the reservoir? Turn it lock to lock a bunch of times with the cap off and you'll see all the little air bubbles come up to the top, let it sit till all of the bubbles have gone away, put the cap back on and start it up and see if she still whines. Repeat if neccessary.
