Are you talking about the drain plug on the drivers side at the bottom of the intermediate housing?

apreludem

yeah...its (i think) in the middle of some sort of mount...not too sure but that is one hard to reach plug from where im at..i was wondering if maybe im suppost to remove something that i have missed..

thanks

Try this, remove your drivers side front wheel and get at it that way. I beleive you can get to it pretty easily from there.

apreludem

never thought about that..haha..thanks man

You will have to remove the driver fender along with the wheel. There is no access throught the cowling. Yup, that little bugger of a drain plug is not real easy to get to. I'd rather let the hot H2O drain as I remove it from the top rather than be below the pug as I remove it from below and on by back. Ouch!

yeah...should i just leave it be and flush the hell out it? i mean i kinda have to flush it anyways because while drilling this one bolt( yes i broke it and it owned me for like 2 weeks if not more) i got metal shavings into water pump housing...so will just flushing the engine also flush the coolant from the engine drain plug?
