Firestone, SNAP, and several other companies make
coolent flush products. You'll need to get a new thermostat and gasket (of if
your thermostat is new just get a new gasket) and a flush kit (less than
$10 at any parts house). the flush kit has a t-fitting that goes inline in
your heater core return line (i'd recomend buying a 3' piece of hose to use
instead of cutting your stock one in half) The t-fitting is threaded to accept a
garden hose and it also comes with a spigget that attatches to the top of your
radiator which you can attach a hose to and run to a drain or bucket.
My directions are this, REMOVE THERMOSTAT (most
overlooked part of this process) install t-fitting and spigget, get in your car
and turn the heat on, attach hose and turn on water, let run for a few minutes,
then start car (with water running) and run for a minute or 2. Turn off car,
turn off water, drain water, replace thermostat, replace heater hose (you can
leave that t-fitting in but it sure is tacky...they're usually bright yelloy)
replace antifreeze, BE COOL. If all else fails stick lit a rag in the filler
neck and push it off a cliff. Then, sell the video to NBC and buy a new
car
(pay no attention to me, I'm tired. Good
night)
