Jack the front wheels off the ground, run engine and go from lock to lock. do this about 5 to 10 times. If the steering is still hard then stop the engine and let it sit for a minute which allows any trapped air that is in the lines to come out. After the minute is up repeat the first step and it should be perfect.
