I saw the bleeding proceedure in there but I didn't see anything on drainning it.

The factory service manual shows how to drain it, also includes instructions for using a pressure tester to help refill it. I just ordered one from Amazon, I think it was around $100 with adapter so is not too bad.

To drain it, there were two hoses you disconnect in the engine compartment, and I think one up front on the left side.

I have a pdf doc that has some info on draining. Too big to post. I'll have to email it.

I got the system drained today, I decided to drain it by removing the front hoses instead of the rear ones. With the clam off it was much easier than trying to get at the rear ones.

Tommorrow I will tackle refilling it.
