Oh, and that screw turn identified a tiny fissure in the hose next to the screw. That hose will cost you 29.95 and labor of 150. as well as the flush of your radiator. Two hours later. We found oil residue in your radiator fluid and it's not supposed to be there. We are now looking at the rebuild costing 480.00 in parts and 1,800 for the labor. Bad Steve!
