Default Best way to flush power steering

Just looking for the most effective way to flush out all of the p/s fluid. Is the easiest way to just pull it out of the pump and replace it and do that a few times or is there a way to completely flush everything out of the rack and pump in one shot and re-fill with fresh fluid?


Thanks.

Warning do NOT use any thing lighter than oil. i saw a p/s pump WIPED OUT cause kerosene was used to clean it, while the engine is running . ONLY use oil. this is while i is being ran by the engine. if it is on the bench ie not under power, kerosene is ok.

I was only planning on flushing out the old fluid and replacing with new ATF+4, just wondering what the best way to flush the system was.

Thanks.
