How can I do a coolant flush of the entire cooling system in simple steps, trying to do it myself as I just fixed the coolant leak of my car which was my broken coolant flange (took me like 5 hr) but anyhow, any tips?

Take of a heater hose and drop off the lower hose, flush until water runs clear, you can pull the thermostat as well and replace it if this has not been done, but it is not a must useless you suspect it to be faulty
