Easy Water Heater Drain cock removal.

take wide blade screw driver heat and push in , some times you just take a sharp chisel and break it out ,be careful don,t hit the threads.when puting new one in rap threads with teflon tape and don,t over tighten.

Is the drain plug broken or is it just stuck and won't come out? If it is stuck and won't come out it will usually break loose if you use a long handled breaker bar. I have a length of pipe that fits over my ratchet handle. Works every time.
