Power steering fluid replacement

Hi,

I had an advisory this week that the power steering filter and fluid could do with replacing. There's no mention of this topic in Haynes and I can't afford a Bentley manual, but is this a straightforward drain and refill or is there some bleeding involved?

Would welcome comment from anyone with experience of this.

Cheers

Phil

I just slackened off a pipe near the rack and let it drain, you could always syphon what's in the reservoir, run it for a bit then do it again. To bleed the system I just went full lock to full lock, while the van was up on axle stands with the engine running.
Can you spot the old filter?
