	I have a 1998 XC700 and i need to put new pistons in it. i want to know if there is a cleanish way of draining the coolant from the motor. the only thing i could think of is to pull the bottom radiator hose. 1998 XC 700 XCF 440 hood cobra low windsheild 440 seat cover 06 rev can SLP ultra light skis 1.25 ripsaw track 192 studs ------------ TO DO LIST: Bar risers suspention drop brackets 136" track?

	I know it makes a big mess I put a drain pan under the sled and use a small one to catch whatever I can after removing hoses I wish there was a pump or some trick to keep the mess down. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
