Question drain transmission oil 05 expedition

I have succesfuly changed the transmission oil in my old 98 expedition with no problems. I started to do the same procedure with my new 2005 Expedition but I noticed that this one does not have the small drain plug by the flywheel to completedly drain the full 14 qts of oil.
Does anybody knows how to drain the additional oil after removing the pan?
I will appreciate some comments.

Disconnect your lines at the trans cooler and flush it yourself. There is a thread here on this site that will walk you through it. I did my van and it took 20 minutes, 2 beer job. Also, if you ever over fill your trans fluid, you can drain some fluid the same way.

you need the ford disconnect tool for the cooler lines. not a common tool so you have to buy it from ford or matco now sells one for 46.00.
