[s-cars] Do I need to bleed hydraulic system after replacing J-hose?

I will soon be replacing the J-hose on my '95 S6.  This is the hose
that runs from the power steering pump to the pressure accumulator or
"bomb".  After I do this, is it necessary to bleed any entrapped air
from the hydraulic system?  If so, can someone provide a quick how-to?

I am having my J-hose rebuilt at Spokane House of Hose.  I am also
awaiting delivery of my Bentley repair manual (CD version since hard
copy version seems to be unavailable) which will probably answer this
question for me if it arrives in time.

Thanks,
Tom
'95 S6
