How do you get the antifreeze out of the block when you want to change it

Should be a drain plug on drivers side and passenger side, just above the oil pan. Be careful, once it hits the front end, it'll run all over the place. Helps to have a wide/long drain pan.

If you do decide to take the plug out to drain the block, have something like a small screwdriver handy too. Sometimes crud and corrosion will block the hole not letting the coolant drain when you take the plug out. Just take the and shove the screwdriver into the hole to punch through the corrosion. Just remember it will come gushing out quickly once you clear the way.
