    Yep. Just pull the lower hose off and drain it. I've never even messed w/ the drain on these things as they like to strip. Grip it and rip it!

    Nailed it. It also helps to remove the driver fender brace, part of the air box, and the battery hold down so the battery can shift back a hair for extra clearance.

    I was going off the top of my head. I forgot there are 2 brackets that hold the radiator back held on with 10mm bolts. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
