How the heck do you replace the radiator drain plug?

[Twista]

Sadly, i broke mine by over tighten it with the ratchet. :angry4: I can still unscrew it, but its a bitch with a screwdriver. Do i have to remove the whole radiator to replace this plug?

thanks

Are you refering to the drain Cock.... haha (I had to say it, and it's technically the proper name)
How are you using a ratchet to loosen it, I was pretty sure they are a "butterfly" style plug... do you have a pic?

Yeah, you just pull out hard enough and it will just pop out.
