Re: Coolant Drain Plug
As I recall from the only time I had to drain my coolant, when replacing the engine in my old RS, I had to remove the lower rad hose. It seems to me that there wasn't a drain spout at all...but I have a bad memory.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Re: Coolant Drain Plug
I think from when I looked at how to do it, it's a Phillips head type screw that you just loosen like a normal screw.. though I won't be changing out my coolant until March/April.. but yeah that seems to me how it is...
Re: Coolant Drain Plug
Ya philips head screw front bottom left. My book says after that you should still remove the lower rad hose to properly drain the block so hell. Just remove the hose.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Coolant Drain Plug
yea just got done doing this i would use the drain cock first otherwise its gonna splash everywhere. even using the drain cock its gonna splash pretty good so either take your time or have a bug bucket.
