Radiator Drain Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Drain the cooling system by removing the radiator cap and attaching a 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) inside diameter hose to the draincock nipple, located at
the lower rear corner of the radiator tank. Then, open the radiator draincock and allow the coolant to flow through the hose into a suitable
container.
Remove the rubber hose from the radiator and store it out of the way.
2. Unscrew the stem to the ends of the threads. Gently pull the stem from the radiator tank.
INSTALLATION
1. Push the radiator draincock into the tank opening until it snaps into place. Continue to push the radiator draincock into the tank until the threads on
the draincock engage the threads on the tank.
2. Tighten the draincock stem by turning clockwise to 2.0-2.7 Nm (18-25 inch lbs.).
