No need to remove the wheel, but it would help to raise the vehicle on stands or jacks for space.


The drain plug is a 17mm hex bolt that resides forward of the starter against the engine block.

You might need a swivel joint attachment for your wrench as it is pretty tight under there without one.

The drain plug on the radiator has a small hook that will catch itself so you don't have to put your hands into the drain bucket for your coolant.

I'm posting wirelessly but if you need a picture go to dieselgiant.com and visit his coolant change diy page. He has a picture of the location for the drain plug.

If you have a Behr radiator the drain plug will be a large philips style plastic bolt. Just look on the underside of the radiator and you'll find it. It won't be the one that looks like a small tri-star.
