Default Power steering pump

[color=#3300FF][ Can anyone help??? Please! I have a power steering pump leak. So I went to AutoZone to purchase a re-man one. When I installed it, I tried to bleed the system and it didnt work. So I thought that it was a bad pump..returned it and bought another one. That did the same thing. I thought that I might of had the two valves and the spring in wrong order (valve-spring-valve.......spring valve-valve) so i tried both ways...nothing! I removed the return hose and I have flow but dont know if there is pressure. So I'm tempted to install the old one back on with new o-rings and live with the leak. Can anyone help??? I'm just stumped! Thanks!!!

You must be doing it wrong for the pumps not to hold up
