Just take the bottom hose off, that's the way I have always done it on my car.

what i do is take the waterpump hose off and with garden hose in radiator while car is on let the water recurculate out cleaning inside motor cause with bottom hose off from radiator would only clean radiator and not the engine!

I forgot about this, it's a how to on flushing the cooling system, its done on a VS but it would be the same for a VT: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/holden-commodore-how-s/28762-how-flush-v6-cooling-system.html

Ellery manual says to remove the knock sensor from bottom of the block.

Easier said than done a bit of a pain to access.
