Since you need to remove the air shield from the bottom to drain anyway, it's easiest to approach the drain from below. There really isn't much to see anyway. It's a 19mm hex IIRC. A deep 19mm with a wobble extension opens it easily. Some 1/2" IIRC clear vinyl tube to slip over the drain is useful, and you can use the tube to open and close the drain once it's loosened (and before it's tightened) with the socket. Like any plastic end tank radiator, be careful, don't over tighten, you'll be fine. Radiators for manual transmission cars be 'spensive!
