Default New radiator and coolant flush

Hello

I'm going to fit my new radiator tomorrow/flush the coolant and just wanted to check I'm doing this right.

a) remove old rad
b) install new rad
c) refill system with water
d) start car and let it get up to temperture
e) let it cool down then drain out water
f) refill with coolant/ anti freeze 50:50

That all seem right Or can I flush it with a hose pipe? If so where do I stick it and where should it come out?

Thanks

Mark

with the radiator and thermostat out just stick a hose in the inlet and flush it that way, then stick it in the outlet if you want to reverse flush it
