Hey guys!
Just finished a radiator install on my wagon and learned that the Nissens drain plug design is different than OEM. I turned the plug a bit (at least as far as I could by hand) and nothing came out. What's the trick to opening this thing up? I don't want to turn it too hard without knowing what I am doing for fear of breaking the drain plug!
thanks for the help! This board was a great resource as I was going through the removal process =)
cheers

Careful with non Valeo drain plugs.
I had a BEHR of a time with a new Behr-Hella aftermarket radiator drain plug on a 99 V70 afew weeks ago. The o ring tore on its first drain and then snapped off upon tightening it.
I would just use the lower radiator hose removal and have a bucket handy.
