MY1PATH Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 if its the soft nylon kind you should be able to get it out easy enough, shoot me an e-mail reminder ghj018@hotmail.com and when I get home tonight I'll see if maybe still have the one from my old radiator. If I do, I'll send it 2 ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ^x2 The drain in mine was a joke and just let out a dribble. I ended removing the bottom radiator hose also... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I always drain them by the lower hose, the "drains" are a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenton163 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) update, because of my job i didn't really have the time to work on it, so i took it in to a trusted garage and they said part of the plug was broken off inside, and that my radiator is S^%T soo im just gonna replace it. it ran kinda hot anyway.
