Default Can't Bleed 98 Accord Power Steering

I changed out the power steering pump in my 98 Accord, and have not been able to successfully bleed the system. I've lifted the front end of the car and turned the steering wheel fully to the left and right multiple times with the engine on and off. There continues to be bubbles in the reservoir. Any suggestions?

I have read that the power steering is self bleeding...is this true and, if so, how long should it take to self correct?

With the engine on, turn the wheel from stop to stop as long as you need. That being said, if you're still getting bubbles but, the steering acts fine then you'll be ok.

Dont let the steering wheel go from lock to lock go almost full turn. I did this in my 93 accord after i rebuilt the pump and works awesome. Also the wheels have to be jacked up or else it wont bleed right
