Default Power Steering Flush

I've started to perform the 60,000 mile maintenance that Disco Mike recommends but I'm not clear on how to perform the power steering flush. What are the basic steps?

Thanks

take a turkey baster and suck all of the old fluid out. Refill with new and drive around. I did this 2X to make sure.

Actually, you don't even need to drive it around, empty, refill, start engine doing full turns left and right and then repeat the process at least 3 time or at least 2 quarts of Vavolines synthetic p/s fluid.

When I did my flush I removed the return line from the resevoir and stuck it into a one gallon jug, like a empty antifreeze or washer solvent bottle.
Started the trk and poured new fluid into the resevoir until it was clear. Reattached the hose and topped off.
Make sure that you have more than one jug, just in case.
