How Flush/bleed the coolant system propely

I need to change the coolant of the 2011 SS Camaro, but the the radiator plug drains just part of coolant. How I drain the coolant inside block?

After the flush, whic is the proper bleed procedure to replace the coolant?

Why do you need to flush out all the coolant?

You could take off the lower radiator hose and heater hoses, that'll get some more out.

To bleed, leave the radiator cap off (after you fill it), crank up the heat, and let it run...once the thermostat opens, whatever air that's in the system should burp out of the top of the radiator. Repeat the process a few times to make sure all the air gets out.
