Most auto stors sell cooler flush kits, or at least they used too. try napa, it is a presherized can of solvant that you blow through the cooler, then you blast it with air to force it all out.

I latched onto a used in tank fuel pump that was still good and use it. Just use clean fluid in a bucket and push fluid the opposite direction of normal travel until clean

We usually blow it out in reverse direction with compressed air and then spray brake clean through the system and blow out in both directions till all the way clean. On the 48re i believe you can only blow through the way the fluid usually runs, must have a check valve in the lines.
