Nope, that is the mount. The drain is on the passenger side radiator tank directly above the frame rail.

Okay, so Just to make sure.. I open that, put the hose in the top of the radiator
turn the car on, crank the heater and let it run for a while untill water comes out clear. and
that will flush the coolant system?

Yes, the latest picture is it. You rotate it only a 1/4 turn with a 1/4" wrachet. There is a 1/4" square drive socket in the front of the white (yellowish) peice. If you can, get a small portion of hose onto the nipple out the side of it (pointing up in your picture) and direct it into a bucket.
