Should I use radiator drain **** ?

Should I use radiator drain ****, or just use the bottom hose to drain ?
Does the radiator drain **** on these Hoe's cause problems when U try to open or close them ?

drain **** i think will be easier then hose and less chance of radiator damage. should be a cammed turning drain from what I remember. I would verify that tho.

Personally, I never touch any **** other than my own.

not helping.

If one was to read between the lines though you'd see the wisdom.

Old radiator drains can create larger issues than pulling the hose off the bottom.

And for the record, there are only two hoses I pull; mine and the lower radiator.

I pulled mine after 10 years to drain the radiator. Didn't have a problem at all. I even bought a new plug just in case the o ring was bad or something, but didn't end up using it.
