Default Steering rack bleed procedure

I just finished rebuilding my steering rack and will remount it tomorrow. The only thing I am unsure of is how to bleed the rack. Is there a DIY out there?
Fill up the reservoir and upen the banjo bolts?

Lift the front off the ground, start the engine then turn the wheels all the way from side the side, keep refilling the fluid.

With the banjo bolts open or everything closed?

Cheers!

Hi cobias, yes I posted in the klaindustries thread. The seals provided were perfect. After installation the steering felt a little "harder" but no leaks so very satisfied.

Morten, I read your post afterwards. Glad they fit in for you and thanks for posting the rack number also. I got my kit from the place your friend did. I might have time between now and the next weekend off to try and get mine done. I just took care of several other things this past weekend. k40 radar detector front mount, shifter bushings, and used a spray product found on one of the forums to refresh my tail light lenses. I have noticed that the reservoir is finally changing level for the power steering so that moved it up in line a notch. Good luck with yours and thanks again for the input on the other company.
