Default How do I get to my radiators draincock?

I have a 96 and can't find the damn draincock... do I need to remove just the shroud or is there more to it?

The drain **** is located on the passenger side. It is practically flush with the tank. You will need a 1/4" drive extension and rachet to open it. I have been able to do it without removing anything extra, but the first time I did it, I removed the inner fender, but I was also replacing hoses and cleaning my coolant overflow bottle out so everything was basically off of the fender anyway. I figured I'd make everything easier.

I just flushed and filled my radiator not to long ago. All I had to do was slide under the front end and remove the plastic panel that covers my remote oil filter. Although I had to use needle nose pliers to open mine.
