Open the connections to the large radiator hoses just in front of the right rear tire. Since this is the lowest point in the cooling system, you will get 90% of the coolant out. If you disconnect the heater connections in the same area, you will get most of the rest out. Stick a garden hose in each hose end and flush the rest of the coolant out. > The Bentley Manual points to the drain plug on the > block. Use the Bentley to chock the front wheel if you have to jack up the back of the van (unless you have the CD-ROM version :>)). The Haynes manual tells you to disconnect the hoses as described above. Good luck,
