I don't think you are going to get all the fluid out that way. Doing it the way descibed above flushes out the old fluid from the hoses and steering box. Of course, if you are using clear synthetic fluid you must know if you are mixing old and new. I just would not recommend doing it your way for anybody replacing regular fluid.
