Re: radiator drain plug

facing the car, bottom right corner. Its a draincock that you have to twist/pull to open. You'll see a round hole on the bottom of the radiator there. About 2 inches above that is the the draincock. You'll probably be tempted to use pliers but be gentle- it is plastic.

The drain plugs are the pits.
Be real carful with it. As said they are plastic.
I just take the lower hose off instead of fooling with them most of the time.

It also takes what seems like a day for the Rad to drain through the drain also.
