In all the times I've had to drain the radiator, I have NEVER found that stupid plug!

I just pull off the lower radiator hose.

Pull the lower hose and jack the drivers side of the car up slightly.

If they kept it in the same spot throughout that gen, it should be on the driver's side at the bottom facing rearward. You need a allen driver to twist it out.

DUDE!!! This is AWESOME!!! Someone finally took advice!!! No, Shaved, this is not a knock on you whatsoever. It's just that most new folks here wont listen and take the advice that they're given. Even I'm guilty of it.

top swap with one other person took from 8ish am to about 10ish pm, ran fine for about a week and now it wont start again. its not that bad just make sure you pay attention to details and you should be fine.
