Last fall when I winterized, I got in a hurry when I didn't have the correct box-end to take out the block drain on the passanger side (DD). I used a vice grip and mangled the head of the plug. I rounded the edges pretty bad. Does anyone know where to get a replacement? I am guessing the dealership would be the best place but didn't know if it is a common piece of hardware that could be found at the hardware or auto parts store.

Its probably just National Pipe Thread. Should be able to get a plug at a hardware store.

Correct, 1/4 Inch NPT.

(Just replaced mine with a fitting for the hot water shower.)

I'm going to have to take the vice-grips to some brass plugs, then have you call my wife and explain things to her. Biggrin.gif

I just installed a dab of grease on all my plugs that I just installed. I don't know why I haven't done this in the past. It seems to make removal easier.
