Be careful...it's fragile, and it's not supposed to spit anything, it just
opens a connection between the two big hoses.

The bolt in the radiator should have a groove; it's a good deal easier when
it does, unless you have brass fingers.  I think that replacement radiators
may sometimes come with an ungrooved bolt??
