I opened the return line and slipped some rubber hose over it with a clamp, hooked up a harbor freight 12 volt pump and sucked it dry... then plumbed in a 2 liter bottle of stoddard solvent and did a "power flush" of the whole PS system while turning the wheel from lock to lock [car up on stands] with the pump pushing fresh stoddard fluid through the entire system until it ran clean.
