coolant change questions

Has anyone done this themselves? If so were are the drain plugs? How hard is it to do? Does anyone have pics of were the drain plugs are? I know there are pics in the owners manual but they suck.

Thanks in advance.

bottom of the radiator. Remove the splash guard from both sides and you should see it. I think all you have to do is flush the old coolant, replace it with water, run the engine to operating temp, and flush the water. Repeat process and then in the end replace with fresh coolant/distilled water mixture.
