Here is a link that includes the steps from Larry Bible. Let us know how this works for you. My indy did my water pump and replaced the coolant with green stuff. It's coming out.

i often forget how extensive this site is and forget to use the search.one thing,is the fluid in my rad safe to flush into the drive or do i need to contain it?

Prestone and MB coolant contains ethylene glycol, which is considered bad for the environment. A lot of municipalities accept used coolant as part of their recycling program.

On the other hand, citric acid flush is okay on the ground.

petroleum based products can kill animals. it's sweet and they are drawn to it.
