So this is quite an easy task to do, you don't need any expensive tools. The only tools you need are:
• Pliers
• Some sort of suction tool - pump, baster or syringe
• Clear bottle
• Rag

Let's get straight into it. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Jack up the front end of the car, so both front wheels are off the ground.
2. Remove any excess power steering fluid from the reservoir.
3. Disconnect the return line, from the pump to the reservoir.
4. Place the end of the line, into an empty plastic bottle.
5. Without turning the car on, turn the wheels lock to lock. This will force any fluid out of the power steering system, into the bottle.
6. Reconnect the return line, your power steering system is now empty. We need to bleed it now.
7. Fill up the reservoir with new fluid, till full. Place cap on the system.
8. Start the car and go full lock, to full lock. This will start to bleed the system.
9. Check the power fluid level, it should have dropped, fill up again. Fill up again, and repeat steps 8 & 9 till the power steering system is back to normal.

I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial.
