Im working on a tutorial in the above thread. the first tutorial is for water pump replacement.

If you have access to hose you can use that to supply clean water while engine is running when you are flushing.

Dont forget the plug on the engine block in addition to rad plug.

Read the tutorial in the other thread. Its not that simple a procedure. There is a picture of the second drain plug. Hose refers to garden hose to supply water to radiator during flushing. The hose is not necessary but makes things easier.

Just make sure you get rid of the old fluids, just put them in a closed container. If you have any pets keep them away from Antifreeze it will kill them.
