Default e60 545 making grinding noise after vacumm pump replace

i just recently replace the vacuum pump gasket because it was leaking , during the process i disconnected the hose that is connected to the metal tube above the pump for better clearance and all the power steering fluid came out. when i put everything back together and added power steering fluid i notice that when i turned the wheel i would hear a grinding sound by the way i added the correct fluid chf11s, can anybody please help??

you got air in the system. turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times and see if that gets rid of the air.

the grinding sound is probably the power steering pump growling, cause there is air in the system.
