Default Draining power steering

Hey guys,

Is there an easy way to swap the power steering fluid? I went to take a turkey baster the other day, but I can only get out a few ounces at a time. Is there some way to drain it and refill the system? I know it take ATF+4.

There is a service bulletin on a new process for swapping the fluid. (no idea what it says but I saw it somewhere)

Only way I know how to do it properly is to go to an auto shop that has a transmission fluid exchange machine. and have them hook up the lines to the system. You have like a gallon of ATF-4 in the entire system, if you have the cooling lines.
