Hi hondaniss,

There are no recommendations to flush the power steering system.

The normal procedure I use is to disconnect the return hose from the reservoir, Plug the reservoir and put a container to the return hose.

Start engine and fluids would be pumped out of return hose. Top up the fluid and repeat process. Get someone to turn the sterering from end to end to get the fluids in steering box out.
