    Need Help!

    I just did the LDC cooling mod when I did the clutch(Thanks for the help Ron!). I tried to to remove the plug on the cross over but it wont budge. I used a 1/4in ratched to try and remove it but its starting to strip. Any ideas on how to get it out.

    If it's starting to strip, you could always just weld a nut to the top of the plug.

    Heat it with a torch!

    If you don't have one go get a small soldering tank.

    If you use a pair of chanel locks then you can open them large enough to turn the plug I have seen this countless times. If you ne help let me know I can swing by and handle it for you

    Cool beans. I also like to fill the system with the front of the car elevated on ramps. Seems to burp the air out best elevated.
