without being drenched? after changing my radiator and refilling the coolant, i went to tighten the drainage screw on the pump. however i over tighten and sheared the bolt clean off... i now have a new pump on the way as its slowly dripping coolant out round the screw.

So how would you handle this dilemma? wear a rainmac? syphon?

Drill & tap the pump housing the next size up and fit a bigger drain-bolt.

Why not just get a bucket and take the pipe off then let the water go in to the bucket ?
