I just recently flushed out my power steering system, using a bulb syringe, and learned a couple of new things that I haven't seen posted before.
Take a look at the reservoir tank for the power steering fluid. After removing the cap, you will notice a small hole that the bulb syringe needs to fit thru. The one I bought at Wal-Marts was too big in dia., so luckily, I had a piece of 3/8 ID fuel hose, and cut a short length to slide onto the tip of the bulb syringe. The hose fit nicely down into the reservoir. Just make sure the hose you add is about 6" long, so it won't get stuck inside the tank, if it slips off.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to take a plastic trash bag, and cover the area between the reservoir tank and the front bumper. This will make clean-up a lot easier.
