Ok, so you put in fluid, but it's still hard to turn?

Make sure the system is full of power steering fluid.

Fill it all the way up while the engine is running and turn the wheel right and left until it's easy to turn. Also verify you are not leaking anywhere.

yes it's possoble that air got into the sytem, but like the post above me said make sure you fill it while it running because it you fill it when the car is off it's not going to be fully in the system and you will have air pockets. Hope that helps.
