I disconnect both heater hose off of the engine, then fabricate a fitting that will attach a garden hose to one of the heater hoses. While directing the other hose towards a bucket, I gently turn on the water supply to wide open and let the water run until it shows clear, then reverse the flow into the heater by switching hoses and repeat.
