"Unloosen"??? I love that disingenuous word...lol GW

Where the f*** is the petcock? I can't see it.

BTW: Spare me the jokes; already thought of them. A REAL answer would be appreciated.

Petcocks are either on the side of the tank facing the engine or on the very bottom of the tank.

The only good way to replace coolant is with a power cooling system flushing machine, like the one I use at work. If your only option is the drain-and-fill method, which rplaces less than half the coolant in the system, don't waste time finding a pet c*ck which usually breaks.....just remove the lower radiator hose.
