coolant flush?

[cplchris]

i plan on changing the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses sometime in the next couple of weeks, should i get the coolant flush done before or after i install the new parts, i had to use prestone a while back when my radiator leaked so i want to make sure the system is clean and all hoat, i do not care about recapturing coolant because i have plenty of zerex g-05, i just want to know if the flush should be done before the new parts go in?

Water pump removal will drain the system. No point adding new fluid before that.

I would do the flush with water before I changed the parts. No need to flush new parts.

Definitely flush it prior to doing your work.
