This is the plug mention in the repair manual. Is it the one you could not found?
Never done it but looks like the two possible points....

Thanks, that's what I guessed. I loosened it and coolant came out, so I went with it.

There are two, drivers side (which I removed) and passenger. I just went with one so far.
This job is a beezy.

Remember, best way to fill and bleed the system is using a Radkitusa from snap-on or similar. And if you don't have this kit you can always drive for a few days with the valve open on the expansion tank and monitor the level..... Good luck!

Okay, if anyone can help me here. Here's what has happened so far in order:

1. Jacked up the car
2. placed jack stands
3. placed jack under engine
4. drained coolant
5. removed IC hoses on Y-Pipe
6. lowered engine with engine screws under car
7. removed hoses on Coolant Expansion tank

Now I'm stuck. I can't seem to remove the coolant tank.
I unscrewed the nut attached to the cars body.
I can't pull it out far enough to remove it from the track it's attached to.
Anyone with experience, please help. I appreciate any info on this.
Best,
Keith
