On the bottom of the radiator, there should be a plastic plug, thats your drain ****. If nothing else you can remove the lower radiator hose.

Do the factory radiators even have a drain plug? I don't think so.

But when in doubt, just pull the lower rad hose off. Just watch out, cause it's going to come fast...anti-freeze that is.

Kinda funny that your post was edited for cleanliness by the server.

I believe it's technically called a petcock.
