another how to question Reply #14 – December 02, 2008, 08:12:28 PM ok,, ill guess your in harrisburg PA?Ill also guess its cold outside and thats where the car would be worked on.Ill also guess the radiator is factory.??If it is the original one, the pet pen 15 valve will be like a metal wing nut. These type if you can get to drain are best because there is a round opening which a hose can be stuffed over and you can drain it more directly into an old antifreeze jug. if its got a plastic wing nut, have fun. You gotta loosen it up and then at that magic point, it will start draining. if it never drains, its clogged. Quote Selected
