flushing radiator

[slayer10]

I need to flush out the radiator and was thinking i may need some of your guys help with his. If i can't seem to access the drain plug my other idea is to do a back flush. ( where i put that little kit I have no idea at the moment)

i would like to make sure im cutting the right hoses the first time around instead of learning the hard way. So here is the picture. I would like to believe the suspect would be the one right before the shorter hose with the heat wrap on it.

the drain plug is at the bottom (pass side) of the radiator. easy to get to.

i would go buy the prestone flush kit. its the best way imo. there is detailed instructions on the back of the package that tells you which line to slice into (from heater core) to install the Tee. very easy and simple to do.

i also believe there is a tread around somewhere that someone did a write up about installing one and doing a system flush. could have been a different site i saw it on tho, do a search and try to find it

it dont matter which heater hose you install the back flush kit watter flows both ways when it leaves the Tee.
