the turkey baster method really does not do the job. get 1 to 2 gallons of fluid. disconnect the U-shaped hose where it connects to the power steering pump. connect a ~2 foot long hose to the input to the power steering pump. place a large pan on the ground and direct the disconnected U-shaped house towards that pan. connect a funnel to the added house. you will need a helper. the helper will start the engine and rotate the steering wheel from one side to the other (to fully flush the steering rack). you will continuously pour clean fluid to the funnel. if you have old fluid, it will take a gallon or two before the output fluid runs clean.
this is also the best way to clean a trans . a trans takes 3 to 4 gallons.
