Matt, you could do it the way us poor boy's did it.
Get you a piece of clear tubing. Connect it to the return side coming out of the gear box, and drop it into a bucket, unless your not worried about deposits, or EPA.
You may need another pair of hands around to keep pouring clean power steering fluid into the pump, while the engine is running. You'll see the color difference in just a short while through the clear tube

Oh and something like a MightyVac comes in useful for a lot of things.
1. single person brake bleeding, though there are fancier units available for this.
2. testing manifold vacuum. Great for timing an old engine.
2. evacuating old fluid, use the same as the brake bleeding procedure.
3. Vacuum testing systems to find air leaks (such as pulling vacuum on an egr valve to verify it is working.

Exactly, but without all of the big fancy words. Your flushing out everything. You'll only have new, clean fluid

My cousin let me borrow his vacuum pump sucker tool thing, and it was very handy. I was doing brakes on the old project truck, and when I saw how handy it was I did transmission fluid on my Nissan car and oil change on my F100. I can definitely see it being great for sucking out the power steering fluid lines, etc. He said it was like 20 bucks.

Seriously though, would that hand pump vacuum doohickey Josh talked about earlier do pretty much the same thing minus fluid collection or am I mistaken?

So that's how you spell 'thingermajig'! I'm going to add this to my list of 'big fancy words' like impediments just to keep y'all on your toes.

There is always one in every crowd. Which reminds me... stupid trailer blowing fuses, and Ford using fuses that you can't find any where so I had to special order them from the dealer!
