[TechAssist] Re: Changing Fluid in PTV Sets?

Most of the time I do not remove the tubes.
I use a Horse Syringe and Tubing to extract the old
coolant. I then disassemble the coolant 'chamber' to
clean with denatured alcohol.Re-assemble chamber,fill
with new coolant,and check for leaks cold,after
warm-up,and cold again
