From my FSM:
Start with a cold engine place a collection bucket/pan under the drain cock, lower right side of radiator, rotate it counterclockwise 180' to the full open position remove the coolant pressure bottle cap and open the bleed valve.
When ready:
Remove the cylinder block drain plugs located under each exhaust manifold.
When refilling, Use only a 50/50 mixture of the specified ethylene glycol type antifreeze/coolant and distilled water. OR whatever your owners manual says to use it should be with distilled water not tap.
IF you need/want the whole process you can join www.alldatadiy.com (http://www.alldatadiy.com) and get an E-version of the FSM, it has just about everything in the FSM, only a few things I just could not find but might be in there.
