To purge the air, make sure that the P/S resevoir is to the FULL line. Get the front tires off the ground. Start the vehicle and turn the wheels back and forth several time to the wheel stops. This should purge all of the air out of the system. Check the fluid level after doing this to ensure it's still in the full range.
