No the other radiator is in the 01 Viggen, but the head is out, so the Radiator was already drained. I put the new drain plug in the 01, tightened it, and it still leaked as it did in the 02.
I have removed and installed drainn plugs several times in the past, with no issues. It's a simple thing.
I'm using a 13MM deep socket, extension, and ratchet. I'm tryig hard not to overtighten. It seems like the plug is tight enough. But it still leaks. I'll look at it again. I think I will have to tighten a little more.
I thinkI'll try it again without the O-ring.
