How to do a power steering flush? Options

[HectortheRican]

I tried searching, but it was very inconclusive for me.

Could someone explain how to do it or point me to a thread that does? It would be much appreciated.

Edit: Did a bit of Google searching and found that all I might have to do is just drain the reservoir from the lowest point, fill to max with fresh fluid, lock the steering wheel left then right, fill the reservoir to max again and I should be good.

Can anyone confirm? Also, what fluid do I need to use? I stupidly left my repair manual with the list of proper fluids in Albuquerque...

im not sure if theres really a way to truly flush besides draining as much of the reservoir into a container, and whatever hoses, lines you can get to to have fluid come out.

but again if you think its related to your problem in your other thread, double-check first, because you don't want to waste your time, you still gotta bleed the system too. make sure you have the proper procedure for that if you do so anyway.
