please and thank you in advance!

regards,

dom

First you have to locate the drain plug normally found on the lower right of the radiator. Then you wait till all the fluid in there drains out then what I do is stick a water hose in the radiator cap till it runs clear then I take out the hose retighten the drain plug and fill the radiator with coolant. If you don't have a drain plug just pull the lower radiator hose.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was also thinking of changing out the thermostat. Do u or anyone else have the part number?

Also, reason I asked for instructions is cos I wanted to cover all the bases and ensured I did not miss anything.

Thanks!
