The plastic drain petcock broke off while flushing the radiator. How do you remove the rest of the old drain petcock so I can install the new one.

if you have to, remove the radiator, and unscrew the remainder of the old one, then install the new one.

Hi Dakingpin,

The wing nut is made of plastic so use a sharp pointed object to stick into the edge and slowly try to unscrew it off, provided space is available, if not you have to remove the radiator first.
