Pump not pumping

[andy69]

Just purchased a recon power steering box (from the states,only cost $635) anyway have fitted,also put a new seal kit in the pump,now I have fitted all in,and the instructions say to bleed the oil through,but no oil is coming out of the return ,now I did the pump myself :facepalm: I'm thinking maybe I've done something backward or something......

is the engine running???....if so turn the steering wheel back and forth......oil has to heat up to get correct reading on dip stick too

It came with instructions telling me to disconnect the return hose and put hose into a drain bottle,disconnect coil wire,crank motor over several times until you see clear oil running into bottle,then connect hose back to pump,connect coil,start motor turn wheel side to side top up oil and of you go......but I get nothing on the return and the in hose oil just weeps into steering box..

I've always done it with the system closed and the engine running but that's me. :cents:
