yes. unbolt the t-stat housing and the rest will come out. and you'll smell coolant for a week.

Default That won't get it all - better off jacking up the front of the car and undoing the Temp Sensor
at the back of the head or undoing the Heater Lines. Even so that still won't get it all

Default to flush, I typically drain rad, drain from t-stat, refill w/water & run, drain 2x
then refill w/new coolant. kinda annoying, but it gets the job done.

Default draining from radiator, t-stat, water pump doesn't drain ALL fluid so...
hence no one seem to know about any hidden
drain plug it should be impossible to drain it
all without any special suction devices, right?
