Newbie question-how to change coolant on 03 crn vic?

I have a clean 03 crn vic sport that I bought 2 yrs ago and want to change its coolant. I know this is basic to many but what is the exact procedure for changing the coolant on this vehicle? I dont just want to open the radiator drain and refill so am asking for step by step for this vehicle. Thanks in advance.

I plan to change mine as well. I usually drain the radiator and fill with 50/50 antifreeze on my other cars. I know there's still old antifreeze in the motor, but without cycling the engine or forcing the antifreeze out by applying a water hose to one of the inlet hoses on the car you will never get it all out.

There's a fitting yhat can be installed in the heater hose to connect a garden hose to and run water through the system. Remove the thermostat and reinstall the housing when you do. I usually run water through the heater core to flush it out too.
