check the post by krivasauto. He linked up pictures and posted a description when changing out the fluid via the return line.
A full flush is probably recommended, but the turkey baster method worked perfectly fine for many people who don't have that level of experience. Pretty much anyone could use a turkey baster. It's probably a little more messy if you're not careful and wastes more fluid, but it works probably just as well.
I posted my experience with the turkey baster method in that topic. I wasn't able to get the fluid all that clear as the fluid would just mix up and get somewhat dirty again after each change. However, after a few changes you could tell all the real particulates were gone and was pretty clean fluid. Still somewhat black, but clean.
The steering improved by a mile just with the turkey baster method alone.
