Most of you know how to do it anyway, Since i have taken pics of while i was changing the coolant, heres a guide to help some out.
First take off the splash guard under the drive side.

As picture, white plastic screw at the bottom of the rad. It can be unscrew by hand. Soon its unscrew the coolant should come out. Make sure you have some sort of bucket to catch the old coolants.

Now open the rad cap at the top, anti-clockwise. so the coolant should rush out like the tap.

After all drained out, i use a water hose and run it though the rad, to clean out all the dirty and rust.

I even drained out the old coolant from the bottle. As mine was very very dirty.

Start the engine, wait about 10mins till the fan comes on, let all the air out the rad, fill it up if needed to. When all the air is out.
