New GM Radiator issue
Hello all. I recently purchased a new GM radiator for my truck. Everything looks like my original (25 yrs old now). I went to install it and it appears they put a plug in where the petcock goes. It stated when I ordered it that the petcock was not included so I ordered that as well. Problem is, I can't get the plug out. I tried needle nose pliers and even an easy out to see if it would even start to turn, which it didn't. I am enclosing a picture of both. NEED HELP on getting this out. The radiator sure seems like it is supposed to have this drain operational.

Personally, if it is a drain cock, and not leaking, I would pull the bottom radiator hose when it need's drained.
