Hate to beg and whine, but...

Hate to beg and whine,but...a few days ago I posted a thread titled "Coolant Removal"..I know it's not a "hot" topic that would grab a lot of response,but based on my past experience here,I'm really surprised there's been ZERO response.I guess I'm begging for someone out there in Benz cyberspace to offer some advice about the coolant.I mean,why should I pay my $300 annual dues fee to belong to this forum?? yuk..yuk..

The answer is

There is a drain plug on the bottom of your radiator, white in most cases.
I do not bother with it.
Pull the lower radiator hose and drain the system.
I have tried access through the bottle with several suction units, no luck.
