I tried to bleed coolant and the coolant spilled all over the radiator and
vanagon front. It s kinda messy job...I wonder if it is possible to replace
radiator bleeding bolt with brass drain cock or brass valve with tube nipple
(for draining coolant via tube down to a bucket instead of spilling all over
the radiator, van front and driveway)? What s the bleeding bolt thread size?
Or anyone have a better coolant bleeding method?
