Hi, I have 1997 Barchetta, and want to change engine coolant liquid, but it looks complicated works are needed to release the steel pin on the radiator hose to get the liquid out of the radiator.
Probably, correct drain way is to pull the radiator hose from the radiator, and this hose is located beneath the radiator, at a little bit right hand side of the car from center.
But this radiator hose has a strongly tied steel pin which is not easily accessible because there are two tubes before it, and this makes the releasing pin works very difficult.
Do I need to take off the Cross Rail which is located and supporting radiator and guarding the bottom side of car? But this Cross Rail has probably 10-12 screws to release, and this work takes a little bit of long time.
I can't believe that this is the correct way to do the drain works for coolant liquid, because this work should be more simple for car users.
Can anyone advise me on how to drain the coolant liquid correctly and fast.
