Turkey-bastering the old fluid out works. A vacuum pump with a long hose will work even better. And a funnel with a long hose to pour new fluid in.
Other people will be more specific.

I thought about that method and I guess I could do it several times to complete changing the fluid . I was wondering about a method of flushing the PS system ( remove a return line ( where / how ? ) and pouring in fresh PS fluid are the same rate as it is draining or is the more trouble than it is worth . -Thanks

You can do a complete flush through the lines like you mention, but the risk of getting air trapped in the rack was too high for my taste.
