It's been four years since I changed my fluid but if I remember the drain is between the radiator and the engine on a return hose. I think, don't hold me to it. Mine is getting changed as soon as the weather starts to cool.

Carl I just changed my antifreeze which was actually 4 years old and I can tell you the 6mm bolt is on the bottom of a piece of metal piping coming from the radiator and just behind the radiator. In order for it to drain you have to remove the radiator cap. Don't forget to pull the overflow reservoir as well and drain it before refilling with fluid. It should take almost a full gallon of 50/50 mixed antifreeze.

Yes indeed, the drain is a 6mm bolt with a 10mm hex head located on the bottom of the steel coolant pipe which runs from the cylinder block manifold pipe down to the water pump. It is the inner of the 2 pipes.
