Empty container or glass jar under the pas bottle, undo the jubilee clip, remove the hose and allow the pas fluid to drian out. Push the hose back on do up the jubilee clip refill pas bottle with the correct amount of fluid.
 Start the engine and move the steering from left to right to remove any air locks and top up, job done.

That's my understanding, but as you say, never done it...

While I realise that I'd changed it all, I sucked out what I could from the reservoir & replaced with new. Ran the engine, steering lock to lock & then repeated the above a few times. It's only the same as trying to replace all your ATF.
