mknherhappy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The drain petcock on the radiator is rusted closed, any advice on how to drain the radiator? Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaekl Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 A couple of guys have poked the radiator with screwdrivers, but I'd go with pulling the lower hose. Bit messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I've never used the petcock. It's in an awkward to access place and I'm paranoid it'll snap off. Pull the lower hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I've never used the petcock. It's in an awkward to access place and I'm paranoid it'll snap off. Pull the lower hose. X2. Especially if you have the factory rad. with the plastic end tanks. They are known to fail at the petcock when someone tries to use it. Save yourself a headache of having a busted rad. and just pull the lower hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
