There are some creative ways of cleaning and flushing a radiator on "You Tube".
I would start by disconnecting the hoses and blocking the bottom outlet closed, filling the radiator with vinegar, let it soak (even overnight) then rinse with a water and baking soda mixture will break some of the junk loose. Follow that by flushing it a few times with water.
