Flushed heater core today throught alternate method, by WP!?

This method of flushing the radiator and heater core is the supreme of all methods. after not being able to rip the ones off the firewall I went ahead and did the ones by the heater hoses by the waterpump in less than 10 minutes! I was able to flush everything from the radiator to the heater core, etc.... The optispark didn't get wet and I blleed most he air out.

Tommorro I am going to finish bleeding it and see if my heater works any better now.

oh..okay, in this pics, it showed some neato rubber adapters n such, thought it was required, but I suppose the hose sprayer would work.

The heater hoses would be the usual one each of 5/8" and 3/4" hoses..
