Dan, be sure and FLUSH that PS FLUID, not just drain it. There will be some left in there if you don't. After refilling with ATF, and best donecwith front wheels of the ground, but not totally necessary, cycle the steering all the way to the stops BOTH DIRECTIONS several times with the engine running. The PS pump will be engaged that way and after a few cycles all air will be purged from the system. You may have to add a little more ATF.
