Subject:Coolant change questions

Hi All,

So, in the midst of some other repairs I found a coolant hose that was
spewing coolant. So, I guess it's time to veer off on this tangent and
replace the hose first.

Since I'm doing this I figure I might as well flush the coolant, since I
don't know the last time it was done. I'm a but confused about what I'm
supposed to do as the bentley seems to have a different method then what
others online suggest.

I've elevated my van onto some ramps and removed the overflow cap. The
Bentley suggests just removing the two hoses that run to the water pump.
But is that all that is necessary to do? I'd like to thoroughly flush
the system before putting new coolant in.

TIA!

Cheers,
Harry
