Default powersteering fluid flush

I am about to do a service on my car and I want to flush the powersteering fluid. I have no idea how to do this. How do you flush the fluid and also what kind of fluid do you use?


Thanks

To flush the power steering unit, drain power steering pump reservoir and fill the reservoir with 1/2 pint of SEA FOAM TRANS TUNE. Run engine to pump fluid through system for 15 to 30 minutes, turning the steering wheel from lock to lock every 5 minutes. This will dissolve varnish and suspend contaminants into the fluid.

Stop engine and drain fluid from reservoir placing the return line in drain pan. Cap reservoir. Disable ignition.

Turn engine over with starter and run 1 1/2 pints of SEA FOAM TRANS TUNE through power steering reservoir to flush system of all contamination. Then flush system with power steering fluid.

After flush is completed refill reservoir with new power steering fluid.
