I went to flush my coolant system the other day and broke the petcock plug. I think I was so worried that the collant would splash all in my face that I didn't pay attention to the correct way to open the plug (pull or twist?).[]
I have the broken part but is there a way to fix my mistake?

the plug twists out but stays in the radaitor so if you broke it id say that you would need to replace the whole radaitor.

the plug will pop out if you pull it. you can find a new one at most auto stores. mine was the cheap 'help' brand but it works perfectly.

Just the end piece broke off the rest is still in there. I'll turn ito Mc Giver before I by a new radaitor because the tip broke.

Its a good excuse to buy an evans cooling rad.

I've got like 8 of those thing in my toolbox. They just pull out. It isnt leaking right? you just broke the 19mm hex head thingy off right? The center is an allen, I forget what size. Get in there with an allen key, back it out and once the coolant is drained, yank it out completey. Simply replace it with a new one, if you cant find one I'll mail you one. I've got tons of em.

That is correct it's just the tip of the petcock..........thanks for the info will update when taken care of.
