There should be a drain cock on the right lower corner of the road facing back.

Eric,

I looked again in that area and didn't find a drain. I'm going to contact the Mfgr to see what I can learn.

Jack,
 
On my 98 I have to remove the lower radiator hose.  Hopefully you will have a petcock, but you may not.  Good luck with everything.

Carl,

Had to remove my radiator hose as well. Thank you for the information.
