For certain reasons, I wish to do as thorough of a coolant removal/change as possible in this vehicle.. what would be the best way to accomplish this? I've always just drained with the radiator plug... but I want to go the full monty here..with the absence of a thermostat, would pulling the bottom hose from the radiator and placing a large container to catch from both ends, then running the engine for a short time (just enough to pump out all I can) be an acceptable method? too dangerous? would burping the system afterward by parking on an uphill grade and topping off be extremely difficult to achieve completely after such a complete drain?
