I just pull the flange off the bottom of the WP. Two 10mm bolts.

Not so if you have power steering.

::) you all work tooo oooo hard...

why not heat it up with cap off bottle so no pressure... warm enough to open thermo stat.. then pull lower hose off rad? drains it all.. easy peasy.. if not warm enough.. restart it fo ra few min.. you will see when it starts to open..
\\
how i do it...

 I actually did that a few times. but it is messy and dangerous since you're dealing with scalding hot coolant. With the hose coming down you can drain right into a container and reuse the expensive coolant.
