1. IIRC, the flush mixture stays in for 20 minutes. Yes?

just my back is sore as the devil and I don't want to jack the car up and
put a jackstand under it, to use the drain.)

Needs to be warmed up and then allowed to cool down. Allow to warm to 80
deg. C (normal operating temperature) and allow to remain there for 10+
minutes. Allow to cool to 50 deg. C (that usually takes 10-20 minutes)
and drain.
You can drain it any way you wish, but virtually all the fluid must come
out (from the radiator AND the block drains). Engine MUST be flushed at
least 3 times (each time the engine must be brought to operating temp
and run for 5 minutes at that temp to insure the acid is all out).
