Whats the proper way of doing it?

I swapped my old one with a new unit due to leaking and whining noise. I lifted the front two wheels up and turn left to right lock to lock at least 30 times. Cap off. Everything was smooth seen air bubbling out. Then I put the car down and try to turn squels/whines and I can barely turn it.
Had some one turn it while I look under the hood and the belts get stuck and the irritating noise start

I'm pretty sure they're self bleeding and a couple turns bleeds the air out by itself. Maybe you have a bad pump. Is it reman?
 
Could you have the lines backwards to or from the powermaster or steering gear?
 
No its a duralast. No noise is made when I have the front wheels off the ground and turning lock to lock. When I put it on the ground and turn its hard and whines.

that belt needs to be tight as hell, and remember, you need to push away from the fender to get it tight. At the same time someone needs to be tightening the bolts that the bracket holds to the block on
 
I just fixed it. The belt was to loose got real tight and ptoblem solved. Thanks everyone
