hey all,

The title should be self explanatory, but i was wondering if there were any tips or anything to help me with the removal of this seemingly impossible to remove plug?

Also I know that before I bought my car, The radiator was replaced (Radicon) and it seems like the only way to drain coolant is via the lowest hose (unclamping and letting it drip forever...

After that is it filling the expansion tank with water and letting it run til nice fresh water comes out the drain tube?

Thanks for the help in advance, and just for the record, I have read over the FAQ a number of times, just looking for some clarification!

Thanks, Enjoy the Bricks!
