How do you get to the drain plug and bottom radiator hose to drain it?

(pictures would be nice if anyone had them)

Drain pet**** is at the bottom, rear of the rad on the passenger side. You likely won't be able to see it from topside, but if you feel around for it you will find it. It has a big butterfly shaped handle for your fingers and is made of plastic. They can be fragile, so do not use pliers on it - only loosen-tighten by hand.

Make that petclock!!! Lol

And if you can get a camera in there to take a picture, all the more power to you. :)

Testing....testing.....

If you have a double action gun, you can pull the trigger or **** the hammer and pull the trigger, to discharge the bullet.

I found that the thingie is way too tight to turn by hand, I did use a fair of pliers. I agree that is a horrible idea, but I was under my only car at the time. I believe that there is a special tool for it, or maybe try one of those "universal as seen on TV" sockets, but there may not be enough clearance.

BTW, it looks more like a casting registration mark, than a petthingie.

whopper

I doubt there is a sPecial tool for it - but, pliers in a pinch for sure. I think it was ChevyMgr that said they are prone to breaking if one is not careful.

Well actually there is a tool, more properly a set of Pet...ummm....rooster sockets made by Thexton Tools. You can find them at Sears for $13.95, and I'm sure they are available at auto parts stores too. I picked up a set last year and they work great on stuck Petroosters...silly censoring function.

Sear part number is 00901541000, can't post up a direct link because the censoring function here doesn't like Petroosters.

My former '98 S-10 had the same cheepie plastic pet-rooster..

Also located in a less than ideal location too....
