just my opinion but ,seriously, if you don't know what you're doing, get someone that does know, to work with you for the first few times you do it or pay a mechanic to do it. brakes and p/s are very important items on a car and can't be 90% correct they have to be 100% correct. plus if you got sludge in your p/s fluid then more than likely there could be something entering the system causing it to sludge up which will need to be corrected if there is a problem. so again, my advice is go to a mechanic or someone that knows how to do it properly.
its not a hard thing to do but needs to be done correctly and always best to be shown the first time. and its not a $20 job unfortunately. that won't even pay for the fluids :( sux huh? mind u that should have been picked up during servicing unless u do it yourself?
please don't bite my head off for my advice lol maybe read it in a nonangry voice?

Hi, sludge in power steering usually means incorrect fluid used. definitly go to mechanicand if possible watch what he does.
