Flush Anti-Freeze

I just took my car in to get the tires rotated and balanced and the guys came back and said that my anti-freeze failed the acidity test and that I need to get it flushed. Is there a way to do this by myself? Do I need to get it done?

Thanks.

What?? Acidity?? Rip Off.

Yes, you can do it yourself. Drain and fill. Get the Honda pre-mixed Coolant, $9.00 per Gallon, you will need at least 2 gallons.

Drain the radiator and coolant reservoir. Fill.

Simple.

There is actually a little bit more to it than that, but I'll post it up later, I have the service manual.

Ok, man, post it, I am due for it, too. Thanks in advance. I guess you will tell us to drain the engine block, too. Works for me. You will need a thread sealant, which I got already.

You will have to take off the battery yo get to the bleed bolt. I did my research but forgot already.
