Can you reach the drain plug from the top ?

Nevermind, I see it. Problem is, there is some sort of big hose in the way. I'll try to snake my arm around it and loosen it from the top, thanks!

It's a tight fit, but my 94's drain plug can be reached from the top.

Ok, got all that done. New Question: How do you remove the Coolant Reservoir?
