Quick backstory: my thermostat kicked the bucket a couple weeks ago while traveling. I removed it and refilled with bottled water that I had with me to get me home.
Now I’m trying to drain the system and refill with new coolant while installing the new t stat. The drain on the block will not loosen. It’s a 14mm and I’ve started to strip it. Any ideas? PB Blaster? Did I screw up by using bottled water?
And for future reference, anyone have any suggestions for a clean way to drain the rad? I made a freaking mess and was using 3 buckets...
