1994 1500 Power Steering Issue

Hey Guys,
I just replaced the power steering pump and:
1) it feels a little grabby turning to the right at slow speeds
2)biggest issue, it gets real hard turning left at slow speeds
Going down the road its seems to be fine.

I have turned the wheel back and forth several times trying to bleed it.

Question:
Does this sound like air still in the system? If so, how do I get it out?
Flush it?

Thanks in advance,
WOD288

Try going from lock to lock about 4 times. after that is sounds like a bad pump.
