03 boxster ps pump air bleeding

How long it takes to bleed all the air out of a PS pump lines. I replace the pressure line and the power steering pump on my 03 Boxster Base, now I have this noise coming from the PS Pump. I read throw the forums and few saying that I need to move the tires back and forward until all the air coming out. So my question is for how long do I need to do that or how many times I need to move the tires or the steering wheel?
Thanks everybody for your help.

I called Pelican and they asked to move the front tires back and forward until is not air in the lines. We did that for more than an hour and still the pump is doing noise. Could you let me know tomorrow, how that works for you, please?
Thanks

Raise the front end up off the ground, with the engine running, turn wheel lock to lock several times. Check the fluid, top up and repeat.

Thanks, San and 1andtheonly

my power steering pump is getting too hot when we leave the engine running for few minutes, my mechanic said that the line that connects to the rack and pinion maybe clog????, because is not fluid coming from that line when it disconnecs it from the rack and pinion. We replace the one from the PS to the middle, but still same noise
