Back when I had a shop with a Safety-Kleen parts washer, I would flush out coolers with the washer pump. From all that I have read and heard, though, you are better off replacing the cooler with a new one, as no amount of flushing will ensure that you get all the gunk out of all those little corners inside - and if you loosen what's in there, it's liable to break loose and flow right into the bearings - not good.
