PS Hose Replacement

PS Hose Replacement
Hi all,
A couple of my ps hoses are leaking, so it's time to replace them.
Question:
Has anyone here replaced only the hoses, and if so, what is the best way to do it without making a huge mess and/or getting too much air into the system?
Also, if I do get air in, how does one bleed the ps system? Bleeding brakes is pretty simple, but I haven't a clue how to do the same with ps.
Cheers,
- Chris

A Rover expert may weigh in with something different but as far as bleeding you should lift the front wheels off of the ground and turn the steering wheel lock to lock (w/ engine off) several times. Top off the resv then start it up. Let it idle for a bit and do the same back and forth technique a couple times. Finally recheck the fluid level and you should be good. With the resv at the top of the system and the pump it is essentially a self-bleeding system. Again, this is non-Rover specific but should be quite universal. Good luck!
