You can disconnect the low pressure return line to drain it. Its on the bottom of the resivoir. Then our supposed to be able to feed new fluid into the resivoir and out the high pressure line while the return is undone to flush it. I didnt do it that way and I didnt get a good flush.

to drain the system i just disconnected the return line that comes out of the steering rack, its rubber and held on with a hose clamp so its easy to take off

use an additive when draining it.. cleans out the pump and lines. my pump used to be so loud and i figured it was cause of the rack. did a complete flush with an additive and its pretty much silent now... for a ford lol

Where did you get the flush? I have never seen power steering flush only for the oil.
