Radiator Drain Plug: Service and Repair
Radiator Drain Cock Replacement
Warning
With a pressurized cooling system, the coolant temperature in the radiator can be considerably higher than the boiling point of the solution at
atmospheric pressure. Removal of the surge tank cap, while the cooling system is hot and under high pressure, causes the solution to boil instantaneously
with explosive force. This will cause the solution to spew out over the engine, the fenders, and the person removing the cap. Serious bodily injury may
result.
Removal Procedure
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair).
2. Place a drain pan under the right side lower radiator mount.
3. Remove the radiator drain cock.
