Anyone here tried to remove block coolant drain bolts ?
Got under the car yesterday and I could barely see it let alone putting socket or wrench on those bolts.
How do you get to those bolts from above? side?
How does the dealer do it ?

I did manage to get them off with extensions and a u joint, but they were a royal pita, especially the back one, which kept leaking. I had to retighten it twice. I only got about a pint of fluid out of both so next time I'm not going to bother with them.

The dealer probably has some special tool which is why they think they can justify waht they charge.
