Question Power Steering System Flush

I think my car will need a power steering system flush soon because the fluid looks tarnished.

I have 80K miles and as long as I've owned the car, it's never been done.

Is this something that can be done with a few tools or should I just take it in and have it done professionally? I would love to learn to do it myself, but I have no idea how to go about it other than siphoning out the old fluid and putting fresh fluid in. Is there more to this procedure than that?

The procedure link I posted says a quart. I'd get some extra.
