Should of said The coolant drain plug.And not bleed. From memory I only used that to drain I think its on the same side as the oil drain plug but higher up. I may of took off from the expansion bott pipe to get that out but never saw the need nor I think did haynes to take off any other pipes. The less you fiddle with them the les chance they are gonna damage

I see so you are saying all I need to do to drain is take out the drain plug after removing the rad filler lid.
Also are people removing the petrol tank to do this or can it lust be hindged up and held with a block of wood


It's really not something to worry about, that bolt ain't going anywhere, the same as the oil plug, and it takes a a good few turns before either plug considers letting fluid out so they're not gonna leak either.
Some people prefer to drain coolant by removing the water pump hose, but i personally prefer to leave pipes alone if possible.
Same as the expansion tank, i've personally never bothered emptying it out as there's so little liquid in there, but each to their own.
