Brother has 00 V6 and wants to flush the system.

I dont know if you guys know what a Flush Tee is. I have one on my Contour and basically you attach a hose to it and it pushes ALL the coolant out of the engine hoses and rad thru the overflow.

Is there a place where a Tee would be best situated on the Alero? Preferrably behind the engine and perhaps, like mine, can be put where 2 hoses connect normally.

I don't believe there is a tee on the Alero, but when I flushed my system, I disconnected the radiator hose closest to the throttle body. On the fitting going to the engine, I attached the suction hose from the machine. On the hose itself, I attached the inlet hose from the machine.

or just do what i did, and hook up a garden hose to the upper radiator hose let it run for about 20 mins, and then hook up a hose to the waterpump and it will start coming out the thermo housing.
then the resovior. etc etc
