Question Changing Power Steering Fluid - advice needed

How to change the power steering fluid on a '00 LE 4 cyl? If anyone has step-by-step instructions (at least high-level) I'd appreciate it.

I know where the pump is and how to get access to it through the fender opening. I got 70+k miles and close to 3 years on the car now and was thinking it is time to replace the fluid; or I may wait till the timing belt is due at 90K and do it then (I may decide to do the belt myself if it does not happen in the winter...)

Would draining the system (e.g. letting air in) would do any harm? Can it be "bled" like a brake system if this happens? What's the fluid capacity?
