Power steering system
I have recently changed my power steering system on Honda accord 91. It was leaking. Now it is hard to turn the wheel. Could there be air in the system? If so, how to get rid of it? Any help from experts? Thank you. Alex.

What part of the system did you change? Just the pump or both the pump and rack? Does it make any noise when you try to turn?

System should be self-bleeding, but you can help it by steering all the way FULL-LOCK a couple times. Then switch off & let the foam settle. Add fluid as needed & repeat.
Have the car actually moving while you do this, so there's less load on the system & you dont grind up your tires.
