I have been searching posts on coolant flushes and I didn't realize that there was such an issue with opening the radiator drain plug. This works very well for me:  I sacrificed 2 cms off of the handle of a 10mm "Allen" wrench. It is put in the hollow head of the drain. Just turn it with the open end of a 10mm wrench. |

Just think, somewhere there is a Tool Manufacturing Company Bean Counter crying onto his spread sheet.
