Power steering fluid change?

Quite simple really. You'll need two hydraulic pumps. One to suck fluid from the reservoir and one to add. Or just one to suck. With the vehicle running turn the steering lock to lock whilst you evacuate the old fluid from the top of the reservoir and add fluid at the bottom of the reservoir. I would suggest getting at least 2x the amount of fluid needed to the change if not 3. Viola no air into the system.

Handi vac. Usually used for bleeding brakes will work also if you don't have one they're not really expensive and serve more purpose than just brakes. Anything that creates suction. If your really want to pinch the pennies the just undo one of the no pressure lines from the reservoir to the pump and let gravity do it.
