Any way to change the coolant in my 2003 Pathfinder without removing
the lower radiator hose?  Radiators used to come with drain fittings,
but they were removed to save $$$ for the factory, no one worries about
the end user.

Are you sure it doesn't have a radiator drain?  My '02 Pathfinder has one.
No petcock though, Just a big plastic screw in the bottom.

Thanks to both responders.   I'll drop the plastic lower shield and
have a closer look the next time I change the oil and filter.

According to my '01 service manual, the drain plug is on the right (US passenger) side, pointing straight down.
