Default Power Steering Woes..

Ok, story goes..
I was replacing my alternator in my 2000 Accord 4 door V6 auto.. I guess I accidently put the reservoir upside down and air got into the power steering system, because once I got the alt back in my pump was wining like crazy and wouldn't stop (tried to bleed it turning the wheel etc.)

I went to auto zone got a new pump.. Was still doing the same thing, had a bunch of little bubbles in the reservoir both times. Turned the wheel plenty of times would ease off for a little while but then start wining like crazy again..

This is my second time replacing my pump and now I don't get anything, I cranked up my car got a little whine for literally one second and it stopped, now it's hard to steer the wheel just sitting there. So I assume the pump isn't pumping AT ALL..

I just don't know what to do now, has anyone else had this problem and it be just a hose lose or something? I really want to start driving it again.

Thanks in advance to everyone..

Take off the serp belt and high pressure line and spin the pump by hand to bleed all the air out of it. With the wheels off the ground.
