I tried both the allen key and socket methods. Both work fine, but I found the socket to be the easiest, as I was doing it blind and had difficulty fitting the allen key into the notch. Just needed to be gentle when tightening.
And yeah, I highly recommend the garden hose to aid in draining.
Unfortunately, I didn't have one on me, so I ended up just dealing with coolant running down the supports under the drain. Got most of it in the drain pan, but about a quart ended up on the ground :(
After I finished, I realized I had a 1/2" ID vinyl hose that may have fit. Ended up needing it for flushing the system, so it wasn't a total waste.
My father kept asking me why the drain isn't UNDER the radiator, draining straight downward, like all the other cars he's seen... the only answer I had was "because it's a Saab" :)
