I am sure that no line is pinched. Also, I only ran it w/ no fluid for maybe one or two seconds. I then reconnected the hose, filled up the reservoir and began to bleed the air out. It isn't like I went for a long cruse through a parking garage w/o any fluid. The PS pump shaft (that the pulley is connected to) rides on bearings that look to be not in contact with PS fluid, but the pump fins look like they may be lubricated by PS fluid. I still get power assist when I rev the engine a little and turn the wheel; it is just very loud.
