Thanks for all the info.. Was able to remove the fluid by using a big syringe and some dextrose hose.. I will do this once a week until i get the fluid clear red in color..

just follow vince's video that lexbaby posted, its the absolute simplest way to change ALL the fluid

also u a OLD member man, couldnt u search through the stickies or a advanced search using keywords power steering DIY,change power steering fluid, or some other simple keywords instead of making a new post? seriously some of you OG's just as bad as the noobs who wont search. im all for helping but this is a common thing from alot of the OG's INCLUDING YOU,lets reduce the clutter and search a little bit PLEASE.
