I drained the radiator now I'm looking for the drain plug bolt for the block. Is this the one right under the left side (pass. side) of the exhaust manifold??? Thx.

I just ran into this problem and was actually unable to get it off, after PB Buster, torque wrenches, everything.

I called Honda and they said that they don't evne use that, they just run water or coolant in the radiator one more time, cycle the car and then reflush.

In any case, yes it's the one just to the left of the heatshield.

What? Please explain. They just flush out the system with water? Then how do they get the water out?

 

Well, I forgot to mention.
That was to do a coolant flush, not to change the waterpump.

I should have clarified, but it's late and I'm tired.

Yeah so I took that bolt out. It was relatively easy (compared to the damn crank pulley). Dumped a crapload of coolant onto the garage floor. Oops. It just came pooring out like a hose! Anyway, thanks for the help and the pic. :thumbup:
