Default Changing Power Steering Fluid

Is there an easy way to change the power steering fluid. Should I just disconnect one of the PS lines and if so which one and at which end? Thanks!

First use the turkey baster then unhook the low pressure hose going into the spout on the back of the reservoir. Plug the spout. Aim the hose into a pail. Start the engine and only leave it running until the fluid stops flowing. Don't let the engine run any longer. The pump will fail if it runs for any length of time without fluid.
