Coolant Systems Change

[AJK]

The workshop manual refers to removing 19 bolts and radiator open cover to get at the front radiators. Is this the front splitter or are they referencing something else. Also I could not find a torque spec for the block drain plugs which I believe are 10mm allen heads. I searched past posts but didn't see any discussion or pictures as to steps to get to the front radiators. I will be using the Airlift device to refill. The owners manual says the engine coolant capacity is 6.6 gallens and the supercharger system 4.5gallons. Is this correct.
Would also like to know if the block plugs can be drained without removing the diffuser panel.

They are referring to the belly pan just behind the front splitter.

In the rear you need to remove both belly pans (with diffuser attached) to drain the block. I replaced the two allen head bolts which make such a mess when removed with 2 all metal drain cocks. Now I connect a hose and open the valve to drain. No more mess.
