No idea, but I should do similar myself so I'd like to hear some advice, too :(

On my steamer I pulled every block/pump drain plug and removed a lower hose then gently flushed the rad/block/etc with the water. I repeated this several times until no trace of coolant was seen. put the plugs back and reconnect the hoses,also check all the hose clamps you see, seems they start to weep after use. Regarding the coolant my manual says "silica free coolant" only ,otherwise the pump seals will suffer. I picked up some maxima Bike specific coolant, probably got hosed on it at $10 for 2 quarts, but its cheap insurance (I hope).
