Radiator
so im trying to flush this thing...and i notice on one side theres a clamp for a tube...and im thinking there must be somthing else and on the other side a plastic nut...looks like u can take that off to do the draining so i thought...so i take my time trying to turn this with a adjustable wrench next thing i know...the plastic bolt or w/e breaks...what a joke...now i guess i have to drain it from the tube...i just wanted to get all of the fluid out because i looked into the plastic containter for the radiator and i can see clumps of some shit in there and they were big clumps of sediment...so im thinking thats not good...so i just took the containter off...drained that out then with a hose rinsed the inside then just added some coolant (prestone 50/50 mix) back in...and cleaned my MAC filter which I hate the big bulky oval shape so no one buy that filter or at least switch it to a K&N like i need to do.......so anyone looking to flush the radiator...dont bother with the plastic bolt...good thing its not leaking at all...should be replaced with a metal one or some stronger plastic one obviously becase the metal can rust i guess

take off the bottom tube and clamp it ... let it all drain then take the top one off... put the radiator cap back on and then get a hose... put it in the bottom part and turn it on ... really high!! wait like 30 seconds to clean the bottom... then put it in the top... watch for a few mins, get a coke drink it ... then let it drain ... all done...
