There's something like a siphoning hose with a bulb type hand pump on it--real cheap setup.  A couple of bucks and a couple of minutes.

unhook one of the lines at the radiator and run the engine for about 4 seconds.   Make sure you have a jar or something with a rag to catch the fluid or you will have a mess.  I think the bottom line will pump out and the top line is return, so keep that in mind when placing the jar.

make sure you don't run it more than 3 or 4 seconds, you don't want to mess up the pump.  If you need to drain more, run the engine normally first for a bit so not to run your trans pump dry.

Some don't have a bolt to frail them. Think you can get some put by removing the drive shaft yoke also
