I blew a line pulling 12k trailer today I managed to get it stoped and replaced the line. How do I bleed the system ?

Nothing much to do but make sure it is full of oil and crank it. Ideally, you would pull the glow plugs and crank until you heard the HPOP load up, but that's too much work. Crank for about 20 seconds then let the starter cool for several minutes. It can take up to 20 cycles to start. Jumping the batteries with another dual batteries vehicle will help quite a bit.

Bleeding hydroboost system, not hpo.
Same way you do it with a hmmwv, if that helps you any. Lol

The way to bleed the PS/Hydroboost system is to fill the reservoir, run the engine at about 1200 rpm and turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times while pumping the brake pedal. Be sure the reservoir stays full. You can also use a mityvac to draw a vacuum on the reservoir thru the vent hole. That will help get air out of the system.

Strap new hose back from shock tower.
Upon "static inspection" hoses will "appear free from abrasion points, however with engine running and assistant hitting the brake pedal, the power hose from power steering pump to hydro boost pump can clearly seen be slapping against driver's side shock tower where it receives damage.

I had to wrap both lines if I remember correctly.
CHeap insurance.

I would have had a blow out I'm sure in 60-100k miles

The hum-v method worked ver well took only about 5 Min 5o get back on the road.
