    Conditions inside my coolant system are horrible. I believe the original Dexcool is still in there. There is slime the consistency of jelly. Today, I decided I'd drain the system, flush it, and put regular anti-freeze in it. Serious problem--I cannot reach the radiator drain cock on the passenger side. I cannot reach the lower radiator hose where it attaches to the radiator---not even close.

    Is there an easier way to drain the coolant system than disassembling the front end of the car? This is the first time in my 76 year life that I've seen such a ridiculous engineering debacle.
