Message Roll of 1 1/2" flat drain hose (Home Depot).
Piece of "L" shaped radiator hose.
Three gallons distilled water.

Remove upper radiator hose, Clamp flat drain hose to outlet water pipe from engine and route down along radiator shroud into a container, or along ground in front of vehicle. Hose will remain relatively flat, but use care in routing to stay clear of PS pulley.

Clamp "L" shaped piece of radiator hose to upper radiator inlet pipe with open end pointing up .

Unless clean,disconnect overflow hose to coolant reservoir to prevent contamination.

Start engine. Turn heater on full. Pour clean distilled water in open end of "L" shaped inlet hose until visual water level is seen. As engine warms and thermostat opens continue adding water to inlet hose until clean water is observed from flat outlet drain hose. Approx. (2) gallons.

Once drain water is clean, turn off engine and replace upper radiator hose and remove radiator cap. Start engine and refill with preferred mixture of distilled water, coolant, water wetter, etc.

Clean overflow reservoir and fill to 1/2. replace overflow hose to radiator.
