Quasi's site has a method for hooking up a hose to flush. I did it for the first time on both of my '95 9ks last Fall. I simply kept filling and draining~3-4 times. I also let the cars get good and hot.
One bit of warning. My '95CSE has had a small heater core leak for 5yrs. It has been fine with annual doping with Bar's Leak. When I flushed, the smell came back and I used a double dose of Bar's- 11ounces. Smell went away, but your's may not.
The flush seems to have done the job, and I'm sleeping a bit easier believing that the cooling system is a bit cleaner. Pretty low tech. Perhaps someone else has a better system.
By the way, this is the 1st time on the '95s, and I'll probably wait another 6-8yrs before doing again. Every 2 yrs I replace with fresh fluids. I put in orange, Havoline I believe, thinking this stuff is better. I've heard that it is and is not better with Saab engines. I'll keep reading.
