Re: coolent flush and fill

are you going to use some sort of cleaner?

I guess thier isnt a real easy way.
Drain it from the radiator drain(if it'll open).
If thats broke I usually just disconnect the radiator hoses and drain it. I evn fill it partially from the hose with the thermostat on it.
But if you use cleaners you will need to remove the thermostat for best results.
other wise you'll hav to wait till the car warms up to to drain out the old coolant/cleanr.
pretty messy too, keep the pets away

Should also rinse and drain at least 3-4 times if clears are used, so you get it all out.

to get the air out thiers a bleeder valve on the left, abov water pump, park it with the front of the car up a little. Turn on the hearter so the air can circulate out.

also having the heatr on while doing a cleaning will help clean it too.
