So i was doing the antifreeze thing today and i removed the plug from the radiator, and the plug from the block... put the plugs back in but i went too far with the radiator plug and snapped it off in the radiator.. question is how do i go about getting it out ? I'd be ok with it if it didn't leak, but it does..

for those that don't have a plug, i have an automatic car's radiator in my car ATM, prev. owner put it in

Is the bolt sticking out a little bit? if so take a dremel with a cutting wheel, and cut liek a slit in the bolt so you can fit a flathead screwdriver in it and screw it out. If none of the bolt it sticking out then your gonna have to tap it.

That thing looks frail to me so I never use it. I get a $6 Prestone rad flush kit at the autostore and put the 5/8" tee in the lower rad hose on the passenger side to facilitate EZ radiator drain and flush.

Duct Tape!

but yea dremel or taping should do the trick.

Same thing happened to me. The tear was uneven. I was able to find a slight "ridge" on an outer edge. Tapping lightly on it with a chisel and hammer and it turned fairly easy. Half rotation or so and I was able to grab it with my fingers and unscrew it.

Happened to me too few years back. Luckly I was able to turn it out with my thumb.

Take the lower rad hose off is so much easier than the plug
