until the water flows from the radiator drain.
(NEW!) 23. Allow the radiator to completely drain. Close the radiator drain and install the degas bottle cap.
24. NOTE: The pinch-off pliers are used to control the direction of fluids in certain areas of the cooling system. They are also used for optimum
cleaning and to prevent air from entering into the cooling system.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is being lifted to install and remove the lower radiator hose pinch-off pliers the flush tool kit pump must be secured onto the
radiator shroud while lifting.
