Default how to replace coolant

Just bought a 97 GSR, I want to change engine coolant, but i don't know where is the drain bolt and washer from the engine block. Anyone gets pics for it or any help will be appreciated.

its real simple actually, just lift the car (use stands btw) and look under by the radiator youll see a hole, reach under there and twist the wing nut thats on the bottom of the radiator.

place old rad fluid in the proper container,etc...

get some rad flush fluid and follow instructions on the bottle,wait till the fan kicks on (let cool) then drop that stuff as well. now you can put the new rad fluid in (i use the honda fluid btw cause it lubricates the water pump well, but you can use most any)

refill w/ the new rad fluid and bleed it at the bleed bolt by the head/upper rad hose, be careful not to snap that little thing cause it is easy to do.
make sure theres no bubbles and your good to go.
