i am just trying to flush my g/f's vans' radiator. I am curious on the best way to do this. I am having trouble locating a drain, so if there is a way to flush the radiator myself, how would i do so?

Hi:
The drain is on the bottom of the radiator. If you can't find it, remove the lower radiator hose to drain it.

As far as the flush, purchase a brand name flush kit. The directions for that brand will be on the box.

If you run into trouble, let me know and I'll try to help via the 2carpros.
