Easiest way to drain the radiator?

[Silver Bullet]

I am planning to change my engine coolant temp sensor, and I have read that the coolant in the radiator needs to be drained previous to replacing the ECT. What's the easiest/best way to drain the radiator? Can I just undo the hose that goes from the radiator to the thermostat at the radiator side and let it out?

There is a "petcock" on the bottom of the radiator drivers side... loosen and the radiator will drain.

In this picture, you can see I have a clear hose hanging from mine...
