Where is the bleed valve for a power steering box

Open the hood and check the level of the power-steering fluid by removing the power-steering reservoir cap. Add the correct fluid recommended in your owner's manual to bring the level up to the full mark. Be aware that fluid that looks foamy is an indication of air in the system. Replace the cap.
Locate the power-steering bleed valve on top of the steering box near the bottom of the engine bay. Follow the power-steering, high-pressure lines from the power-steering pump to the steering box if you have trouble locating it.
Push a 6-foot length of rubber hose onto the end of the bleed valve. Run the other end of the hose into a drain pan.
Start the engine. Loosen the bleed valve fitting slightly with an adjustable wrench in a counterclockwise direction. Turn the steering wheel all the way to its stop one way and then the other several times. Shut the engine off.
Close the bleed valve by tightening it with an adjustable wrench in a clockwise direction. Remove the power-steering reservoir cap, and add fluid to bring the level up to the full mark.
Observe the power-steering fluid that came out of the rubber hose into the drain pan. Repeat the above procedure if there are air bubbles in the fluid. Close the bleed valve and remove the rubber hose when there are no air bubbles in the fluid expelled from the bleed valve. Close the hood.

Having trouble bleeding my power steering pump. I opened the line while replacing the left engine mount and got air in the line. I tried the manual proceedures with no success.

There is no need to bleed the line your stating power steering pump just add steering fluid and keep it at the appriopriate level and it bleeds it self

I have a 1990 Toyota 4 runner that i just replaced the front seal in the power steering pump and the seals in the steering box and now the pump will not pump-i have tried everything the haynes repair...

Did you use a power steering puller tool to remove and reinstall the power steering pulley?
If you even tapped lightly on the pulley to reinstall it you probably broke the clip that locks the power steering shaft to the pump inside.
To find out take your power steering belt back off and see if the shaft and pulley can be pulled out of the housing, if so you may need a new pump.

1996 GMC Suburban Brake and Power Steering Failure

Daan,it sounds like you have hydraulic assisted brakes you should be able to trace the lines from the PS pump or steering gear box to the master cylinder,if the power steering is low on fluid refill it and have someone turn the steering wheel to one side or the other while you watch for leaks in the lines.if this helps you to locate the leak,just go to your local parts store and pick up a replacement.

Toyota steering too light

The only way I know of to bleed a power steering system is to turn the steering wheel from lock to lock (all the way to one side and then turn all the way to the other side) 3 or 4 times. that will bleed all the air out of the system. You might have had a leak for a longer than that you realized and by fixing the hose the power steering works VERY good and you are no long used to how easy it once worked.
