My PO clearly did way beyond 14 ft-lbs, I had to take a 1/2" breaker bar to mine to get it loose!
I need some clarity on the plug, driver's side. Is that about 1 1/2 - 2" depressed circle thingy? Pop with a screw driver?
I made the mistake of thinking the dohickey with a hose was the right thing, fortunately I realized that's my OIL hose before yanking it free!

Power T you put in your heater hose for easier flush. I do the final rinse with the knocks out and on the ground to drain all the tap water. With the thermostate out you can run the car while doing this. I made hoses to go to the knock holes to devert the water over kill but clean as a whistle.
