So I barely touched the radiator drain plug and the head snapped off...I searched for a solution, but due to location on the Explorer sport...tried a bunch, including speed out tools, but there just is not much clearance...

Finally found this ratcheting screwdriver that has like an inch long head, and coupled it with this square headed allen type bit.

Slow going, but once I had some of the body to grip, I used a fishing type long angled needle nose similar to these...hook really helps grab the plastic. Still slow going....once you have it out far enough you gotta yank it out, as theres only like four total threads or so...

Slow going
