Easiest way to drain coolant??

[hibshman25]

I've been stripping these sleds down for some time now and I have yet to find an easy way to drain coolant with out having it all over the floor. To the best of my knowldge there is no "drain". Is this correct?

On my nytro I put a pan under the sled and pulled the bottom hose off by the oil tank, didn't make any mess.

On my RX1, I remove the clutch side panel. Then slowly take off the hose, into big drain bucket. Seems to be only place that I dont make too much of a mess.

Wet vac sucks it all out. Been doing it for years no mess.

I have a hook from my garage ceiling , saftely secured around beam . I strap up the front and raise it with a ratchet strap. In the rear of the apex I remove the one side of the rear exchanger or tube over a bucket. After I drain it I fill it and raise the rear of the sled and open the rear bleeder.

Take out the rear bleeder, put something like a gear lube nozzle in the hole, put a hose on it to a bucket. Pull the pressure cap off the main reservoir, use your shop vac with the hose on the blow side and put the hose to the reservoir. It'll blow it all out into the bucket. Try and regulate the pressure though so you don't get to much pressure. Works great.
