Replacing Power steering Pump (A class) .. fluid top up???

[RSgeoff]

I'm relacing the power steering pump on the car (A140) this weekend, and although i'm quite mechanically minded I haven't done this on a car before.

I can see the pump is under the reservoir and I will have to take a pipe off / I will obviously lose fluid.

My question is, after fitting the new pump / re-attaching the pipe and reservoir, is it just a matter of topping the reservoir up with new fluid or does the system have to be bled in some way ?

Cheers

bleeding the system is quite easy after replace pump and fluid start engine and move steering wheel full left then right a few times that should bleed the system but keep an eye on the fluid do not let it go empty keep topping it up
