Radiator Drain Plug

Post by **rdorman** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:37 am

What is up with the stupid plastic drain plugs on the radiator? I went to drain the system and the darn thing was all stripped out. What ever happened to a good old fashion petcock? So, how do I get the darn thing out and is there a better solution once it is out?ThanksRick

Get it out how you can. I did the same thing on mine. Then just get a new plug from a store.

Thanks for the replies! I don't know what I was thinking, I have one of those large containers that sucks the fluid out so I can just use that. I would have saved a lot of clean up after removing the lower hose!
