Flushing Radiator (First Time)

This will be my first time ever flushing a radiator and need help. My question is that how do I drain my radiator? Is there a plug somewhere or do I just unplug a hose or what? What I would like is if someone could just give me the whole process of draining and flushing out the radiator and putting in new antifreeze and coolant. Thanks.

i never flushed a radiator, but i have drained them before.

under the car there is a pitcock at the far end corner of the raidator on the passengers side.

you can drain it from their, have a bucket ready to catch the old stuff and make sure the car is cold when u do it, do not what hot coolant in ur face.
