@Don Lee posted:Thanks for the info! I plan to replace all of the hoses and tubes, just want to flush the system right now. When you say "disconnect one joint on each side in the plumbing underneath" do I need to cut off the hoses and replace them? And if I do will I be able to "insert" the new short length of hoses without having to move the pipes? Thanks

It would be great if I could say that “all you have to do is slip the two pipes about two inches forward”.
My guess is you’re going find that your 30 year old pipes don’t want to move as you would want want them to.
I wish you the best of luck – with my car, with stainless steel pipes and “new“ rubber hoses, I can slip the pipes around to flush my coolant.
Actually, I have bungs in my plumbing that allows me to drain the coolant without disconnecting most of the tubing .
Your car might be a bit of a different situation.
Hey thanks for the good advice. I suspect you are right that the old pipes won't budge, but it's good to know that new ones will. The flush is only short term as I need to move the car in and out of my garage for some home improvement work.
