take out your drain plug on the side of your radiator and then remove the thermostat housing remove the thrmostat the seal it back up the open ur radiator cap put a running hose in it then start it for a few


then trun it off replace the thermostat and housing the plug the radiator bak up and fill her up

i flushed mine a few weeks ago and it worked fine just taking the drain plug out. what i did was i drained it. then closed the plug. filled it up with water. ran it for 3-5 mins. drained it. kept the plug open and just stuck a hose in.
drained all that out. closed it up and filled with coolant.

but i mighta been wrong haha

not on an XJ, but on my old ranger, sticking a hose into the radiator wouldn't flush the heater core. the best way i had found was to disconnect one of the heater core lines and hook up the hose to that.

turn on the heater to flush the core as well
