How Do I Drain My radiator??

I have a 90 hatch, and i just went out and bought some good radiator fluid cause i dont wanna pay like $60 and i love working on my car! I read the Manual for the 240 and it doesnt explain where the drain is....Is there anyway someone can take a pic with a camera or something and explain where it is!! Thanks.

my 89 did not have a drain petcock in it... there was a place for it but there was nothing in there to let the water drain... but anyway... in one of the bottem corners of the radiator there might be a valve that will allow you to drain the fluid from the radiator... if not...put a big drain pan under the car... pull the lower radiator hose off where it goes into the block and then bend it down to where it goes into the pan... if the pan is clean and the fluid is good save it and reuse it... if not take it a recycling center that accepts anti freeze...

Check this out, go to kragens or autozone ( I can't remember!)and get this pump or kit, it flushes it out completely. It's pretty cool and it comes with instructions. And if you can't or have doubts go to the website of autozone or kragens and they have how to's and stuff. Hope that helps!
