Supplies needed: Needle nose pliers, bucket, replacement plug.

Good job and nice to see I am not the only one to get sprayed by some kind of engine fluid, while doing maintenance.
Good attitude, man.
Just broke mine today off my ford edge. I bought a replacement but not enough sunlight to change it out. Have to wait till suns up. I was worried because replacement looked different than original but, after watching your video I'll go with it! Thanks!
FYI as a Master Tech, keep in mind that the radiator drain cock, usually does not seal after you open it up. The "0" rings tear or break, so that when you tighten it back, it drips...Its best to have a new drain valve when you do this, unless you have new "0" rings to install on the old valve. Especially on the Dodge diesel trucks like the 2007 3500
i Still see leak after using a new one
@@ask43242flight use plumber tape, worked in my 06 mustang
This just happened to me today! Thank you for the info. I also used the tool given out with cans of paint to start the turning of the plastic plug! That tool made it possible for me to finish it off with the needle nose pliers. Replaced it for a '97 Jeep wrangler same part too 61127 from autozone.
Broke mine just a while ago thank god for this video
Really? You didn't have to KEEP SEARCHING AFTER THIS MORON DIDNT USE ANY LIGHTING???????
Very creative!I Thank you Pro-Am!
Dude - Thank you I have a ford and I just broke off the exact same one! Inwas stressing -
This helped me get my POS ford running good again. Thanks boss
Awesome thank you buddy I just spent half day messing with mine I thought I had it but didn't. 😮
An 8mm hex head worked perfect on my Ford drain.
Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty on that new plug, buddy.
That happened to me yesterday on my 2003 ranger. I used a screwdriver to remove.
Just got my 61127 replacement. hope it works. Raining right now.
Just snapped off the plug head on my Ranger last night. Backed it out somewhat with an allen wrench, but there's not enough "meat" left on the plug to get a good enough grip to get it out the rest of the way. Thanks for posting this video. With needle-nose pliers and some well-chosen expletives I hope my experience is as good as yours. What I don't understand is why these plugs have the split tail with barbs kind of like toggles to keep the plug from coming all the way out. If it comes halfway out you're going to lose your coolant anyway, and the barbs just make it harder to remove the plug.
I completely understand. The radiator plug ended up not being the reason i was losing fluid but it was nice to knock it off the list. Let me know if this method works out for you!
Professionally Amateur what was the reason?
Professionally Amateur you ever find out what the reason was, my benz e320 currently losing fluid I just ordered a new petcock hopefully that will do
@@Vibezola it was a long time a go at this point but i believe it was the water pump
Mine is a piece that just sticks out an flat about a iinch out then it broke off even at radiator
You had me at ” a lot of tools “ lmao
Dude you are a lifesaver. Thank you!!!!!!
About time I was starting to think 🤔 is it me or my drain plug was broken are OEM really screwed us so no one can take it off. Nice vid 👍 thanks for sharing
next time don't mess with those drain plugs just to pull off the bottom radiator hose next time it's faster and easier and you don't have to worry about breaking those plugs off
Good shit. Funny too. Thanks for the helpful little video
OHHHH that is bad, you need a radiator replacement. How much will it cost me sir? Well including parts, expertise and labor I said $500NOOOOO. But yes is what a crooked mechanic is going to tell somo of us🤪🤪😁😁. Thanks friend for sharing your video!
Professional Amateur here 🤣 ...I love that. ✔
You are the only one who showed the actual removal and tightening of the drain nut. Tighten clockwise and loosen counter clockwise. On my car its not loosening when turning counter clockwise. Do you get such nuts that work the opposite way to your example? Thanks for a useful clip.
AWWW ITS IN MY MOUTH!!!
Very Nice💥 🛠
"I giant puddle of radiator" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
otmo video parabens....
What is the position to install at f150 can’t put it
What was the other leak 😢 because mine is doing to same ishhhh!!!!
I'm not a mechanic and cant get my hubby to fix my drain plug from leaking so I tried flex seal n it wouldn't seal it cause it wouldn't stop long enough to seal it so next step was gorilla tape. Hope it temp fixes it
Best of luck to you! I'm not much of a mechanic myself but if I can get something done on my own i'll try it!
Both are poor products, im sorry to say
Goodluck...i feel you i dont have any men to help me either.
Wish you could tell me where it is for a Dodge 08 been looking for videos
i'm from red lion which is right below york, you seem pretty close
Yeah, we are near the harrisburg area! Did you find the video useful?
thanks man
No problem man, i'm glad it helped you out
did i win the contest???? ive been here since 12 subs :(
Didn’t even tell what vehicle it was until you were underneath it.
happened 2 me to!!!!
Don't play with the petcock to much, you'll go blind grandma told me.
was that your dad
Replace the o-ring.. No need to replace the entire plug
Don’t drink the green Kool-Aid do not drink that green Kool-Aid
Why don't you start by saying that car is it for
Nice sound effects lol
