Even MORE A/C fun...not!

Driving home yesterday, I noticed the A/C not blowing as cold as usual. When I get home I smell the familiar odor of brakes that are too hot. Turns out A/C clutch is now slipping. I can turn the compressor by hand and notice no abnormal resistance. Since a clutch costs a little less than a remanned compressor, I'm going to bite the bullet and replace the compressor with a brand new one, replace the dryer, and replace the expansion valve.

I did replace the compressor last year along w/the dryer. The flush was less than optimal. My question is this...what is the best way to flush the system a home person can do with out going to the shop?

Thanks!
