draining radiator

[bclarknyc]

could someone tell me how to drain the radiator on my 94 chevy s10 blazer. I just bought this truck and its killing me! I am trying to learn your basics but I am not doing so well. Any guidance will be very appreciated. I am already about $1500 deep in problems ( fuel injectors, fuel pump) I thought I better start trying to do this stuff myself.
Thanks for your help.

I have a '98, but it should be somewhat the same. ON the passenger side of the radiator near the bottom, there should be a large twist-type screw. Back this out 1/2 turn and then it will slide backwards just a little bit allowing the antifreeze to drain. Remember this is plastic so if you have to get some extra leverage with a tool, you don't want to break it. The screw doesn't come all the way out either.
