Changing Power Steering Fluid

I have a good bit of noise in the power steering, was thinking of changing to see if it would help. How to I go about flushing th old out, looked for a bleed screw like on brakes but didn't see one.
Any help would be great help

Remove clamp and pull the power steering hose leading from the reservoir at the lower end, drain reservoir; refill, run engine.; repeat.

In addition to Gevans idea,
you can also take one of those MityVac fluid pumps, and pump out all the power steering fluid and replace it with synthetic.

Thats what I did and my steering actually is more responsive and even more quiet now.

I put a remote ignition switch on the relay, then cranked the motor, to pump out the rest of the fluid.
