Power steering flush

What is the procedure to flush the power steering unit? I have a 95 350 and no service manual.

I just did this last weekend:

1. Pump out the reservoir and refill to dipstick level with new Dexron III Mercon ATF fluid. Replace reservior cap

2. Start engine and turn steering wheel all the way left to right and back for a couple minutes.

3.Stop engine and repeat steps 1 & 2 until you've gone through 2 or 3 quarts of new fluid - or your fluid looks clean.

I removed the air intake tube for better access to the reservoir. Just remember to replace the intake tube every time you run the engine.
