Thanks so much for your quick reply.
Quick background on the car – I acquired the car 3 years ago, it now has 30,000 on it. I know a car that has not been used regularly is not good either.

1) Reservoir tank – Is there anything I can do besides replacing the fan shroud to suck out the coolant in there ?? I would hate to put a hose in my mouth to start
sucking out the coolant. It seems like Toyota has designed the opening to make it very difficult.

2) About jack stands – Will it help the draining process lifting the front end up ??

3) Replacing the coolant – The Zerex Asian coolant is a 50/50 blend, after flushing the system a few times, I have a feeling that a fair amount of
distill water will still be in the system before I start the refill. This will obviously throw off the 50/50 balance, but it’s hard to know how much
distilled water will be left behind , ( the coolant is already bought ) your thoughts ??

thanks in advance

Great advise, theraymondguy
when you do this type of project, is it all done from the top of the car looking in ??
because at first glance I’m not sure I see all the pulleys. Also do you take off the engine cover to get more room ?? or anything else ??

thanks in advance. 🙂
