What do you guys use when removing fluids(clutch,brake) to add different fluids?

 

You mean to do a flush to clear out the old fluids? I have always used a tube that fit snug around the bleeder valves feeding into an old soda bottle. I put a little fluid in the soda bottle so that I don't suck up air. This way you can pretty much do it by yourself, though alot of work.

 

If you're bleeding the brakes/clutch, you can either use a $2 bleeder kit from autozone which requires "pressing the pedal" to squeeze out the fluid.

or...

use a vacuum tester pump / bleeder to "suck it out" through the nipple.

Either way you need to make sure no air is sucked back in and all the bubbles are out of the system which may require 1-2 bottles of brake fluid (aka hydrolic fluid).

 

Thanks guys! Also can anyone link me to a clear helpful page on how to Flush the coolant, I've never done it before and would like to do so.

 

Nevermind I found a link How to Flush

Everyone else who doesn't know should check it out.

 

im not sure what model you have but on my 86n/a there are two screws on the radiator. one up top and the other down low. you cant see that one for the top very easy. there round plastic and black with a cross in it that you can use a philips screwdriver on. losen the top one first then go under the car. take off the plastic undercarage piece and then unsrew the bottom one. the screw up top is on the passenger side and i think the bottom screw is on the dreivers side but im not definite on that one. its been about a year since i did it.

 

Buy one of those "gardenhose flush kits" from autozone that lets you completely rinse out the coolant system. I posted a thread on installing that on this website.

Be sure to mix in "distilled water" with the coolant, NOT tap water, purified water, or mineral/spring/mountain water. You can also buy the "premixed" stuff from autozone as well.

 

The top one is the air bleeder screw. It is used for refilling the radiator so as to minimize the amount of air you introduce into the system. There is also a block drain on the driver's side. It is amount the bolt of the driver's side motor mount. It is the the only one that does not look like the others (eg. longer).
