Well, you could always use the "Flat Rate" drain method and just pull off the lower hose. If you are going to replace the hoses(recommended), just cut the sucker. Don't do it when it's hot for obvious reasons... ......unless you are REALLY fast. It's not even messy if you have a big enough drain pan. I got sick of broken/leaky pet*****, so this is my preferred method. Just my $0.02. Happy Holidays:-X12

There are drain plugs on each side of the block near the rear of the engine. Also, blow out the heater core with air.
