there is a petcock drain on the lower corners of the radiators - drivers side is primary, passenger side is secondary. Both are pretty hard to turn, they are a cam-style valve. the other method could be to siphon some out of both bottles to make room.

NO! But that's what my dealer did. They also drained and flushed it with distilled water for free.
