My question is, What is the easiest way to change the power steering fluid. I think after years of use it should be freshened up a bit. What Say You?

mmmm... I don't see how You can drain it all easy but You can drain some/most of it and refill with lucas ps additive that renews the old fluid or run the ps pump with the return hose disconnected. Also and this is just Me, You can run it until the pump or gear box gives up a seal (if You haven't changed anything yet) You know once something is working well is better not touching it (that is My experience again), is not like a transmission or engine oil.

Just take the return line off and point it into a bucket ant have someone start it and turn the wheel lock to lock while you keep pouring fresh fluid in , don't let it run dry. THen shut it down re connect the line and top it off.
