[V8] Bleeding the power steering system

OK, I got that banjo bolt off of there (PITA).   I took the hose to
http://www.a1coupling.com/ and they charged me a whopping $20 to remove
the ends from my hose and re-crimp them to a new 2000psi section of
hose.  That should do the trick and am grateful it was $230 CHEAPER than
a new hose from Audi. I love this list!

A pint of Hydraulic Mineral Oil from the dealership (I was in a hurry!)
was $20, same as the hose!

OK, next question...  I am going out to reinstall the hose and
reassemble my engine...  How do I bleed the air bubbles out of the
system?  Rings a bell that I move the steering lock to lock 3 times, but
can't remember for sure...

Thanks in advance,

- Jeremy

BTW, I have a new accelerator cable on order (kick down switch is
broken.  I have forgotten what it is like to have the transmission drop
a gear when I stomp on it...  Should be a whole new animal again.  :-)
