Remove lower, loosen hose clamp on water pump, pull hose off water pump and let her drain. Resevoir can be accessed on the opposite side. Just remove cap and top bolt and turn upside down. Are you replacing with anti-freeze or track approved stuff (water wetter, engine ice)? Regardless, just be sure to use distilled water. Do not use tap water. Hope this helps

Good call. I forgot about the plug. Either way it's a 5 minute job.

The drain plug is there. Ive done it both ways, its just faster disconnecting the hose.

Cool thanks for the info! What side is the drain plug on? And I am using engine ice.. Drain plug is on the bottom.. It's a very small bolt on cooling system.. Take the cap off the radiator, and take that bolt off..
