I went through my power steering fluid change a few months ago. I agree with the people that say turning the steering wheel from lock to lock pumps/flushes out most of the old fluid. Post:

1995 E300D comments on my power steering fluid change

I disagree about not using a good additive like Trans-X for reconditioning seals. I've used it several times in different vehicles and have been able to make problems go away and never appear again during my ownership. I put on over 350,000 miles on a Range Rover, over 200,000 on a Chevy suburban, a 1 ton ford box van, multiple olds auroras with close to 200,000 miles, farm tractors. I typically used a bottle in transmissions and sometimes full strength in power steering pumps. It eliminated shifting problems and eliminated noise and heavy leaks in steering pumps. Basically i believe that if my only other choice is to remove and rebuild/replace the transmission or power steering pump I might as well try the additive. It has worked every single time and believe it is a good proven product.
