Please help with my cooling flush nightmare (98 xj)
I'm trying to do a coolant flush on my 98 xj as it was looking pretty rusty. It's my first time doing one, so everything I do I'm just trying to go off a tutorial. However, I've gotten two big issues so far. Number one, The clamp on the upper radiator hose just won't come off. I've spent at least an hour trying to pry it off, no luck it's rusted shut. Second, I can't figure out how to empty my coolant overflow. I have the hose that leads to the radiator cap off, but nothing comes out when I flush it. I was hoping this job would be simple enough, but it's tough luck so far. Is it okay if I skip the step of flushing the engine bay with the upper radiator hose or will that lead to an imbalance? And is there something obvious I'm missing with the overflow or...? Any help is appreciated!
