[QUOTE="thill, post: 495036, member: 4972"] Those drain fittings are threaded. Your threads on the inside may have been damaged or have a little corrosion. Grease the threads and screw it all the way through from the bottom, working it in and out a few times. That should clear the threads and make it easier to screw the plug in from the inside. I had to do the same thing with mine. If I recall, I had to hit it with a wire brush because it was pretty badly corroded. But once I got it clear, it worked great. I really like those bottom drains, as they drain completely. [/QUOTE]
