I managed to get the broken half of the radiator drain plug out. My problem is I cannot find a replacement at autozone or any other autoparts store that can match the exact threads and size. I tried that HELP! brand. There was a few Honda ones and tried to match the closest one to it but no luck. Its really frustrating. Anyone know of this part # ? Thanks

When mines broke I went to the junkyard and located a half size civic raditor and “borrow” the drain plug. It was the same size perfect fit. But the acura dealer should have a plug since its an OEM part.

Here you go also

Teg\_Fury…

How did you get the broken part of the drain plug out of your radiator. I have the same problem right now.

Thanks!
