How do drain the Power Steering Pump??

I would like to drain, clean and refill my power steering pump. My fluid is looking bad (burnt look) anyways how do I do it. Do I disconnect a line and let it drain out? If so which one?

Thanks

ok there is a line that runs to the back of the unit it is a low pressure line held on by a screw clamp the other is high pressure which uses a hydraulic hose. remove the low pressure end and place it into a container , put a funnel in the dipstick tube have someone else start the truck and add fresh fluid until the fluid coming out is bright red then stop shut it off reattach the hose and add more fluid as needed. done
