coolant not draining????

So i had an issue with what i thought was my water pump......i drained the coolant and removed it and saw that my pass side gasket was a shot. replaced it and used some prestone radiator flush. did what the bottle said and drained it.......but maybe a quart or less of the fluid drained out.
what should i do????????

With the petcock valve completely out.....take your garden hose and blast it directly into the petcock opening.
