Default Can I just drain and refill the power steering fluid?

I want to drain as much fluid as I can from the power steering system so I can clean up the reservior and replace the fluid with clean stuff. Is there anything I need to know before doing this?

yes you can, but remember to bleed the system before you hit the road!

Default I flushed it with synth Dextron III, took 10 min. I'd say use Maxlife ATF for seal conditioning.
