Radiator Drain Plug Removal - 1998 Lumina
To avoid damaging the radiator itself, could someone tell me how to safely remove the drain plug from the radiator in a 1998 Lumina?
Thanks, Craig |

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the comeback. I'm not looking to drain the radiator per say; I want to change out the drain plug. The drain plug that is in the radiator has been damaged, the thumb grip has been ripped off, probably with a pair of pliers. I've already got the new one, just can't get the old one out. Craig |

The radiator drain petcock in those years was a push-in twist lock kind. Twist it about a quarter turn counterclockwise and pull to remove:
