Default Is there a way to flush the ps rack off the car?

I've completely disassembled my TA for various reasons. Everything is removed from the front of the car including the rack and kmember. Is there a way to flush the rack out now or do I have to wait until I put the car back together and do it the old fashioned way (remove the return line from the reservoir and keep pouring new fluid in while turning it lock to lock)?

Fill it with 80% Formula 88 degreaser and 20% water mix. Fill the rack and all the lines. Let it sit overnight......pour it out and do it again. Then rinse it good with just water. Then blow it out with com pressed air. Then run power steering fluid through the entire rack and lines......then drain it. That should clean it out like new.
