Milano coolant drain help request

["Robert Wells" <robert_wells@domain.elided>]

Just trying to drain the coolant. The owners manual directs to unscrew the 
drain plugs on each cylinder bank but unless I tear the car apart they are 
inaccessible to this amateur at any rate either from above or below. No help 
from the service manual either. Do you have to remove the exhaust manifold 
to get at them? Are they 22MM? Can you get all the coolant out by releasing 
the bottom radiator hose and the bleed screw near the thermostat and just 
forget the cylinder bank drain plugs?

All suggestions and information appreciated.
