Where is the drain for the radiator???
Hey I'm flushing my radiator for the first time and I can't figure out where the valve is to drain the coolant, or what type of screwdriver/wrench i need to open it. Help please...

You can just loosen it with your hand.

Don't pull it all the way out or you might get coolant all over you.

just loosen it enough for the coolant to come out of the nipple right in front of the bolt, and remember a drain pan
