Has anyone used this kit from walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Prestone-Flush-and-Fill-Kit/16817507

Dumped like 2 cups of dex-cool aka death cool in my degas bottle. Filled it up with distilled water to get me to the dealer to fix my pump issue(2 miles down the road). Now I don't really have enough money to do a flush so I am going to do it myself. Anyone completely flushed the system them selves? Also I see people saying to make sure you backflush it, how do I go about doing that?
Also the other day draining my system, the little hex bolt on the bottom passenger side broke off to open the system at the bottom. What do I have to replace here or am I still able to open it?
 
I did it once or twice decades ago with that. Since The People's Republik has classified engine coolant as a hazardous waste it's virtually impossible for the DIYer to flush the system. My daughter just paid the dealer $100 do do a flush yesterday.
