Best place is to disconnect the bottom radiator hose that runs to the engine. Have a bucket ready to take the water as it gushes out - should be about 6 ltrs in total. You may need to take the thermostat out to drain coolant from the engine block. This should fitted in the metal housing on the bottom right of the engine that the bottom pipe connects to. Best check your haynes for specific model as not sure what engine you have.
