Re: Coolant flush?

Go to your local auto parts store and pick up a flushing kit. It will come with three adapters for whatever size heater hose you have. Install this into the easiest hose available. Flush away until the coolant runs clear.

I had to remove my lower rad hose to dump the coolant out of the system. The drain cock on the left side of the rad would not open for me.

Also make sure you purge the system of air after refilling. This purge valve is on the right top of the the rad. I would do this a few times after driving it as well. Just don't scald yourself, do it when the engine is cool.
