There is a hole in the shield to access the drain valve without removal of the shield, although there is less spilled antifreeze if the shield is removed.

We have a FAQs page which has a DIY link that covers this.


This is why people are supposed to read the FAQs before making a new thread.

I use an ice pick in the radiator. Coincidently, this is the fastest air-cooled engine conversion possible.
