here's how I did it:
1) Undo the drain plug on the steering box and drain all the black crud.
2) Fill back up with fresh fluid
3) Jack front-end of car up so the front wheels are hanging free and turn steering wheel from full-lock to full-lock a bunch of time.
4) Rinse and repeat all of the above until the fluid stays clean.
You don't even have to run your engine...

This is exactly what I do.
There is just no need for turkey basters - messing about with a running engine catching fluid and involving half of the local community with buckets!
Pedantic me needs to point out that the "drain plug" isn't really a drain plug but a covering bolt for fitting a centring pin on installation (could also be used during alignment) - still remove the bolt and turn the steering to the left hand side lock and the fluid will exit in an orderly manner...
