Radiator drain tap stuck - am I being stupid?
#6
Hi

The standard tap is just a tapered brass plug with a sideways hole through the centre, so a quarter turn or less is enough to open it. The taper is held into its socket by a small spring on the opposite side to the lever. You might find that if you pull on the lever whilst attempting to turn it that you can free the taper. Otherwise its a case of removing the tap and sorting it out on the bench. Good luck catching any antifreeze for re-use, the positioning over the front spring more or less guarantees that the outflow goes everywhere !
