Radiator drain plug

hoop2077 · 05-21-2008, 06:55 PM

Forgive me if I missed the answer to this somewhere, but I've been searching all day for instructions on how to drain the radiator on an 02 blazer xtreme. I see the plug. It's a white lookin plastic plug, that looks like you could use a flathead to tighten it, but not to loosen it. So how do I unscrew it?

Thanks so much,

You can't see it unless your looking directly at it but that drain plug has a 1/4" square hole in it, use a 1/4" ratchet and a long (about 9-12") extention w/ no socket on it and go under the bottom trans. line, over the frame to get a streight line into the center of the drain plug. (one of GM's better ideas)
