Default Best/correct method of changing PAS and gearbox fluid?

Can anyone tell me the correct way of doing this? I was thinking of pulling the pipes off the cooler under the front bumper and letting it drain, then once it had drained, starting the car up whilst pouring in fresh fluid, until it ran clear and then putting the hoses back on and topping up till the resovoir was full?

Also where abouts are the plugs on a focus 2.0 gearbox i want to drain the fluid and add new fluid as its making a funny noise at low revs which isnt the release bearing?

Thanks

Yeh just pull that pas pipe off.You might not get all the fluid out.

I could be wrong but is the drain bung near the where the osf shaft goes into the box.I think the fill up bung is either on the other side or the front.

Like i said i could be wrong.
