flushing radiator, where? Options

[ShadowFX]

i recently had the lower radiator hose blow, loose clamp, but i replaced it with only water and what little coolant concentrate i had at home for now. i'm replacing it with new coolant/water now, i was thinking i might as well flush it out too (the radiator cap blew too, so the little knob on the bottom of it fell into the radiator) where do i flush the radiator (remove a cap, screw?)? and how much (approx) coolant-water mixture fills the radiator system? (from empty)

No, don't remove the lower hose. There's a drain valve at the bottom of the radiator. That is the white valve I referred to in my first post on this thread. It drains out of a little plastic nipple at the bottom of the radiator that you can attach a length of 1/4 to 1/2 inch rubber hose to.
