bluesuby Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Yesterday i changed the coolant again. Getting the pop-rivets out of the bumper/trim was a major pain and I wondered if there's a better way to do this.... I removed the air intake which pops into the air filter box and found it was easy to reach the drain plug from the top. You can't see anything and have to go by feel, but you can't see much from under the car either. I replaced the plug from the top, and next time I'll be looking to remove it from above. The only hitch might be not getting enough torque on a stubby screwdriver to remove the plug. Maybe I'll be looking at a 3/8 or 1/4 drive socket with a phillips bit on it. Anyone using this method aleady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackleford Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I didn't even remove the drain plug, just removed the top radiator hose at radiator end and removed lower radiator hose at engine/thermostat end - and also the thermostat housing (simple, bolts and and o-ring that oughta be replaced). This is detailed elsewhere is the forum and is the best way to really get all the old coolant out. ANd of course it'd be near impossible to do wo/ removal of lower cover. Sorry.
