Question 300SDL power steering pump bleeding

Need help to fix my power steering. It is Vickers power steering unit, part number 126 460 22 80. It was leaking around the shaft and I bought a kit to replace the shaft seal plus a few o-rings. It seems to be a simple job and I don't think I messed anything up. I buttoned everything up. I lifted the car and turned the steering a number of times full lock on both sides. Lower the car and it does not work. Is there any special procedure to bleed the pump and the steering rack? I am stumped.
