Remove the thermostat and refit the housing temporarily. Remove the upper radiator hose at the radiator end. Wrap a cloth around the end of a garden hose and jam it snuggly in the hose end. Remove lower radiator hose at the engine. Flush engine until water runs completely clear from the block. Remove garden hose and insert into lower radiator hose, backflush the radiator. Allow the water to drain. Reassemble and install new t-stat. Fill with correct (50/50) mixture coolant. If you do not drain all of the water, just calculate the correct quantity of antifreeze required for a 50% mix (based on coolant capacity) and add that first, topping up with water. -Fred W
