Hey everyone.
1988 745 with CAM steering rack, over 250,000 miles on car. Rack doesn't leak any fluid.
My power steering pump had been whining, sounds similar to an electric motor, for a few months. Found that the return line was pinched so I replaced that in hopes that the pump was still good. Did a less than professional bleed and the pump started whining again after the car warmed up.
I'm thinking I didn't bleed the Type F ATF properly and now I have many small bubbles in the reservoir. Also, the steering wheel was shaking and giving resistance while turning full left and right.
Should I follow this procedure to bleed the system?

Or will I have to wait for the small bubbles to dissipate?
Also, is it possible that a failing/failed P.S. pump could introduce air bubbles?
Hope this makes sense and thank you for any help.
