Default ATTN: Cusco Catch Can Owners...HELP!

I tried searching, but came up with nothing.

I just recently purchased a Cusco Catch can, and can't read the japanese instructions. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure out how to drain it. It is a closed ended cylinder; 2 fittings for the hoses.

Is there an easier way rather than unscrewing one of the hose fittings?
Do you drain it through the clear/plastic tube that shows how much oil is in the can?
If so, how do you disconnect that tube? (i've tried tuggin on it, and turning it counter-clockwise. I'm hesitant to tug harder in fear of breaking it.)

Any help...or easy techniques will be much appreciated.

TIA

I have one, and i think you can undo the small bronze nut on the clear tube on the side and rotate it upside down to drain it. never tried it though

Are you talking about this part? The pic shows the clear tube disconnected. The RED ARROW points at the part in question:

I need to know how to disconnect that tube. I've tried pulling it, and twisting it around, but I'm afraid of breaking it.

I tried to pull it out as well, but i'm thinking you can disconnect the black part.

I just went a pulled the hell out of that tube, and it didn't budge. Send these guys an email. It's where i got mine. They're the US distributer for Cusco. they have to know. by the way, did you figure out what that little aluminum plug was for?

I'll give it a shot .

BTW....i studied the pics from the instructions, and it seems as though the alum. plug is to plug up the hole on the stock intake piping (the vaccum hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake arm). I'm sure its just an extra part they provide if you plan on doing a special setup.
