You have to get ALL the air out. When you think its out, bump the motor over a couple times and do it some more. It is a tedious process.
Yeah, I've been doing this off and on now for a day and a half. It still seems to have air in it. The box moans when I drive it. I may have to flush and refill also. It is tedious, for sure!
