Default Coolant Change

Thinking of doing my own coolant flush/change in the spring. Any pointers? I don't have a factory service manual.

The biggest hassle will be trying to catch the old coolant to take it to the recycle center.

Used to put flush devices into the heater hose to enable attaching the your fresh water flush connection but beware of the plastic ones, they don't last.

Have done other cars but not the vette yet. Hassle of finding someone to take the old anti freeze can be an issue.
