Okay, I decided to flush my radiator, because us Do-It-Yourselfers like to well... do it yourself. So I place the '99 Ford Taurus SE V6 on jackstands, remove the splash shield from under the bumper (takes 5.5mm wrench, by the way) then spray drain petcock (a white plastic bolt thing) with spray lube (like haynes manual requires), then apply the slightest amount of pressure to it and "SNAP", it breakes. Wife goes to autozone for replacement.<br /><br />I am supposed to remove upper radiator hose and thermostat housing, ya RIGHT ! No access.<br /><br />I use a Prestone Flushing Kit, which it a "T" that splices into the heater coil hose and has a flush valve on it. The Prestone flushing kit instructions say to remove radiator cap... I don't have one.<br /><br />Long and painful story short, my radiator is empty, I think I flushed the engine out, I drained as much as would drip out of the radiator, I'm letting it cool.... but how do I get antifreeze/water mix back into all the engine. The instructions read "pour it into the thermostat hole", which is completely impossible.<br /><br />Help, I'm gonna blow!!
