    Just pull them every year. Like to see how things look and I put them in my basement. Had them resealed 2 years ago plus bellows and last year I did the u-joints. Should take less then an hour for both.

    I use a concrete mixing tray with a 1000GPH bilge pump connected to muffs. I have 2 bilge pump lines to capture most of the antifreeze in the tray. I run the pump recirculating antifreeze thru the engine and tray until the engine is at operating temperature. I don't trust the 5 gallon jug method.
