To complete flush the oil out of your power steering system take the protective shield off and get to the power steering rack lines ( red arrow ),
Squeeze the hose clamp and move it on the metal portion of the line, whit twisting motions pull the rubber hose of the metal line make sure you have a oil pan handy.
Open the oil reservoir and let the oil drain out of the system it my take 15 minutes, reattach the line and fill whit fresh oil, it my take a minute for the oil to go down into the rack, start the car and add oil util you don't hear the pump winding move wheels left - right , fill oil up to the line.
If oil was dirty repeat the flush.
The picture of the yellow oil pan it's to show the amount of oil it came out in 15 minutes.
I made a small youtube film to watch hope this helps.

Good tip.
I think if I were going to break the seal of a 14+ yr old hose I would just spend an extra $3 and replace the hose while you're in there.
Then, of course, you have to deal with the 3/8" vs 10mm ID debacle...

You can also accomplish this by removing the PPS solenoid which, IIRC, is the lowest port (aka opening) in the PS system.
