    radiator drain help

    i took off the splash shield and i only saw 4 bolts which hold both the fans up.

    i also noticed a small hose that was bent at the bottom of the radiator and im not sure if anything flows through there and i could not set it free.it looked like it was too long for what it was being used for.

    please help me and if anybody can show me a pick of the radiator and the nut or plug that drains it, i would very much appreciate it.

    i will also need advice of what to do with that hose.one inlet points up and the other one is facing horizontally so im guessing one is inlet and one is outlet,, im not sure.

    please help me

    There should be a plug that looks like a "wing nut" in the bottom of the radiator. I'll go take a pic of mine...brb.

          You'd have to post a picture of what you're seeing. They would have had to stick something in there so stop it from leaking.

            If the drain valve isn't there, or if you can't open it, then you'll have to drain the radiator by removing the lower radiator hose.

            Also, when hoses get old, they harden, so it may be impossible to pull them off. If that happens, cut them off with a knife and get new ones.

            Can't tell without a picture. If you have auto transmission, it might be the tranny cooler line.
