Default Power steering pump

Well it's time to replace the PS pump and was wondering what's the easiest way to flush the system? What kind of ATF should I run? Synthetic or conventional? Thanks in advance guys!

Here is a video I did showing how to do the flush. Its pretty easy, if you have any questions let me know I'd be happy to answer.

As far as the fluid, you will see in the video, I use a conventional. However that was only due to lack of availability of synthetic. If and when I do it again I would use synthetic and I would recommend it. It seems to be quieter.
