Also, to add to the OP, there's a drain port on the bottom passenger side of the radiator, it's a hex nut that can also be undone with a phillips head screwdriver. May be a bit less messy to drain the coolant that way. I'm using a wide laundry bucket to catch it. |
i`m the same, i never worried about doing a pump, until it showed signs of a problem, my brothers toyota it`s service policy to change the pump every 100 k`s, i`m starting to think maybe that`s a good preventative policy.
cheers.
