While trying to loosen the radiator drain valve, the torque caused the value base to crack it is now spitting out engine coolant. Is there a repair for the crack in the radiator? Can I flush/replace the coolant without using the drain in the bottom of the radiator? Thanks!

Hi there, the radiator will have to be removed and the lower tank replaced or repaired, at this time they can replace the drain cock with a new unit that will not cause you the same problem.
