Car Forum / GMC Cars / February 2006Radiator drain cock
Folks, Sorry to trouble with this, but can someone tell me how to remove the drain cock on a 2000 Alero V6 radiator? I'm in the process of flushing the cooling system and putting in fresh DexCool, but the drain seems plugged. Can't get any flow, just a little wetness. I've worked it back and forth several times to no avail. It turns 90 degrees open to closed. Would like to avoid destroying it in the process of removal if possible. Did you try to pull it outwards after turning it? Chris Same problem with 98 GMC Jimmy cant turn it. > Did you try to pull it outwards after turning it? > > Chris No, I didn't pull on it, but will go out in the driveway right now and try that. Thanks for the tip. Will let you know what happens. > Did you try to pull it outwards after turning it? > > Chris That was it! Pulled out on that rascal and the coolant immediately began draining. Thanks for clearing up this mystery for me. Much appreciated. > No, I didn't pull on it, but will go out in the driveway right now and try > that. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for clearing up this mystery for me. Much appreciated. See? Never underestimate how helpful it is to pull on the cock. 8^D >> No, I didn't pull on it, but will go out in the driveway right now and >> try that. Thanks for the tip.

I've seen people break them trying to get them out before. |
