Radiator drain plug problem 98 Lumina - 4/22/2007 6:05:51 PM

Mother's '98 Lumina, excellent condition, only 21k miles, never had coolant change.

Coolant plug at lower left side of radiator looks like a standard plug - plastic butterfly grip for removing by hand. Could not turn by hand. Tried to gently turn using pliers but only got about a quarter turn before grip started to break off. Tried moving back and forth a few times but a quarter turn is best I could do.

Is there some trick to removing the plug?

Thanks,

Pete
