VtecKickingIn Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm changing my coolant for the first time today, and for the life of me I can't get the radiator drain plug screwed back in! I got the plug out fine with a phillips head but for some reason it just doesn't go back in. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Examine it for damaged threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osei Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Try, using downward pressure on the plug and turn CCW until you feel it pass the first thread, then maintaining pressure turn it CW and see if it catches. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtecKickingIn Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Examine it for damaged threads? So I took a real close look no the threads and it looks like I might have damaged some of it yesterday. Tried fixing it with a flat head but no luck. Called my local dealer and they said they could get one by Tuesday. Thankfully I have another car or I would have been really screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
