Default Anyone drain coolant?

I've searched for hours and can't get the answer to this!

I dont want to take the bumper off but when I pull out the plastic grill pieces there is a rubber duct (intercooler) that is blocking me. That thing is too stubborn to get around. How are people getting by this so easiliy?!?!

Default pull the left drivers side grill (edit) sorry...

look for a redish dial switch with a phillips patern in it. Get a long screwdriver and a large container. Turn in a counter clockwise motion till it opens and it will dump coolant on the black part of the bumper after which it will collect in that large container underneath the car. I left my bumper on and drained the coolant yesterday.

Default So I should just take off the belly pan and let it dump out?

Ok, it was that or cutting the duct. But that thing is REAL stubborn. I will try heating it with a hairdryer to see if it will bend more easily.
