The water pump is on the back of the engine. It has a huge tube coming out of it. Can't miss it.

The radiator drain is on the bottom of the radiator. Passenger side I believe. Can't miss it.

"water pump drain location"

Hell with it I removed radiator plug drained it filled it with water from over flow tank 3 times until it ran clean and filled coolant and distilled water from overflow tank. Burped like that refill video said to do on the hose little hose across the top of the engine until coolant squirted out.

Running 176 degrees to 184 176 degrees. cooler when driving faster.

LNF 2.0 coolant drain

Be prepared that drain on the lnf radiator is very difficult to get to, had to remove the intercooler piping and unbolt the intercooler to get to it.
Hell it was the hardest part of replacing the radiator for me.

F that.
I would have just pulled the lower hose off lol.

I do all I can to avoid breaking open the charge pipes on the LNF. One crack and its leak chasing for days it seems lol
