Default Need to flush all the fluids.

Im going to changing my opti,water pump, coil here very soon. What all needs to be flushed fluid wise? I figure the water pump and the radiator fluid. How do I flush the water pump and the radiator? I think the radiator flush is on the passenger side on the bottom corner of the radiator. Not sure about the water pump. Pictures would help if possible. Thanks Alot!

Ps. its a 96 T/A

petcock is the name of the drain under the rad. You just turn it until it opens up. You could just disconect the lower rad hose. If I were you since your replacing the water pump take that off first then install the opti that way its done.
