coolant flush...step by step with pics

i flushed my coolant today for the 2nd time, used prestone the 1st time, well not a good idea turns out so i redid it, some people asked me to take some pics along the way so here they are, hopefully they help someone out when they are doing this.
this time i went with Zerex

put the car on ramps

if you dont know by now, this is what youre dealing with, in rear trunk

make sure that your cap is ending with this number, this is the updated cap

take both caps off and take the plastic cover off

lift the bleeder valve up

get under the car and take this cover off, beat up from road debree

use allen wrench to remove the bolt to coolant. make sure u are flushing the right stuff out, if you are unsure make sure its either greenish color, or just give it a little taste and if its sugary then youre good it will all just pour right out

there is a lot of it in there, i had another bucket underneath there when i took this pic, this coolant is lke month old. what a waste lol
