My wife has a 98 keep Cherokee sport and we are planning on doing a radiator flush it can't get to the plug on bottom frame is in the way
any other way to get to it

 

WELCOME to CF.

Best to just pull the bottom radiator hose from the radiator. If used the drain plug may break or leak.

 

Ditto. But if you are hell bent on draining through the peacock I think if you remove your headlight bezel on the passenger you can get at it. Kinda remember seeing that it looked like you had better access to it when I installed my headlight harness.

 

Even with the easy access to mine because of the way I have the front trimmed and the "bumper" I don't use it. Never know when Mr. Murphy may show up.

 

 

I read somewhere that the engineer who designed the radiator drain petcock on a 2000 Cherokee needs to be severely punished and banned forever from the automotive industry. After much consternation, I finally found mine (2000 Cherokee Sport, 4.0L). Remove the passenger side headlight bezel. Remove the turn signal. At the right side of the recess where the turn signal was, there is a small opening. Inside that small opening is a plastic **** that is impossible to get to or to even begin to turn. THAT'S IT!
After an hour of cursing the designer, I ended up removing the lower radiator hose.to drain the radiator. I would not mess with the plastic petcock under any circumstance. It just looks like one of those things that will very quickly turn an easy 10 min job into three days of hell.

 

During that reading, did you find anything about pulling threads up from the dead and how to deal with those people?

 

Two in one day...
