Draining radiator help needed
I know this is really simple, but I'm having trouble draining my radiator. The petcock at the bottom pass. side doesn't have anything for a allen wrench or screwdriver to grab onto. Any help/advice?

The allen wrench needs to be pushed into the petcock. Very tight fit.
Then a half turn....wallah!

Some people just disconnect the bottom radiator hose. It drains faster and you don’t have to worry about breaking the petcock. (such a strange name?).
