You can flush the PS fluid by simply jacking the front tires off the ground, removing the PS return line, and turning the wheel clock to clock with the engine off and the key in the on position.
To prevent a mess I plug the return port on the reservoir and extend the return line into a bucket on the floor. As soon as the reservoir is almost empty and before it can suck air, I fill it to the top with new fluid.
Repeat the process a few times until the fluid running out is clear.
No turkey basters, no partial fill, and easy clean exchange of all PS fluid.

I skipped a bunch of steps in my description, but I also have the tires off the ground, key in the 'ON' position with the engine not running, and then move the wheel/tire assembly from lock-to-lock by hand, to get as much old fluid out of the rack as possible.
