Q: How to service and repair the radiator drain plug on Chevrolet Impala?
A: When servicing the radiator drain plug drivers need to start by draining the cooling system. Begin the radiator drain plug procedure by extracting first the plug and its attached seal. Proceed by using your fingers or needlenose pliers to unhinge the plug locking tangs from the drain side tank. Clean all parts of the drain and the drain plug. Begin by positioning the seal onto the drain plug stem before installing the drain plug while making sure both the side tank receives full body seating and the locking tangs are properly fit.

Q: How to Safely Handle the Radiator Drain Plug on a Chevrolet SSR?
A: You should start your replacement by raising and supporting the vehicle then placing a drain pan under the right side lower radiator mount. The replacement process for the radiator drain cock begins when you clean and change its seal and stem where necessary. Mount the drain cock on the radiator before letting the vehicle lower to floor while using only hand pressure for tightening. Finally, fill the cooling system. Safety measures are needed because radiator coolant temperature exceeds atmospheric boiling point and releasing the surge tank cap under hot high pressure conditions leads to explosive boiling which threatens life-threatening injuries.
