you have to siphon it out by mouth....lol

you should be able to remove the drainback hose then fill it back up.... to bleed it you will need to turn the pulley by hand to pump the fluid, if you can't turn the pulley, you can remove your coil wire so your car won't get spark then turn it over once fill the fluid, do a couple of more times but don't let it run dry until the bubbles are gone. then hook the return hose back up and with the front end still up in the air, turn the rack manually (steering wheel) without turning the car on about 20 times from full left/right to get the bubbles out. then start the car and turn the wheels about another 20 times and refill the fluid if needed. check for leaks or whining noises from the pump.
