Hi!
I have a drain tap from my rad that is seized up. I had to remove it to drain
the rad.
I've cleaned it up as best I can, but I'm nowhere close to getting it to
function.
So, what do I do next? Try to remove that cotter pin without breaking it?
hah! :)
Then remove that spring.
Then hammer on the pin that they came off of with a piece of wood?
But ... then there's still that broken handle. How do I get that out? I've
grabbed onto it with vise grips and twisted to no avail. ( It's already
broken so vice grips seemed reasonable,. )
Do I soak the whole assembly in a penetrating oil or something? I already
have, but, I could leave it over the winter.
