It is the MB paper manual ... and I won't be mailing THAT to you... I thought after your statement about being glad we lived so far apart you would think twice about giving me your address.... I might mail an EPA agent to your door...
LOL
There really are not many sections of this system to flush. The manual says to take the two hoses loose at the TXValve...and flush forward on both.. perhaps at the same time as they show how to convert the Txvalve you will be replacing as a fitting to access both those hoses from inside the car.
Hoses are made up of multiple layers typically... so any snags inside would sure catch a lot of cotton.... that is about the last thing I would put into there...
The flushing instructions which the dealerships are supposed to follow use a setup which cleans the flush as it is recovered.... so they have both ends connected to the machine....then wait until the flush coming out of the hoses is clean.... then they cap them until they finish with the other stuff...
We are going to waste a little flush not having that machine..but cleanliness is the most important thing long range.
