coolant change on 01 sport

[slugmike]

hey all.

trying to change out the coolant on my 01 sport. i have a haynes manual, and it says to get to the radiator drain plug, you may need to remove a plastic splash shield held on by plastic clips.

i think i see the splash shield, but it appears to be held in place by at least 8 screws... am i looking at the right thing?

the manual says the radiator drain is on the bottom left (driver side) of the radiator... and i only see one shield covering that area... its a big one that covers almost the entire front underside area...

just want to make sure i'm taking off the right shield... cuz there's a lot of screws holding it in

thanks!

Not sure if they changed the radiator on later years. My 96 has the drain plug on the passenger side. I didnt' need to take of the shield though. Maybe they changed the spot?
