If you have no room to get a tube up in the area put small globs of the selant on your finger and smear it around the drain tube till it builds up enough

Messy but will work

Yes that will not be a problem. I have to remove the wheel and the plastic cover in side the fender area. It is right behind a small heat shield.

There is a tube that the Dodge Caravan uses as a fix. But there is no room on my Dakota because of the shield.

As a way to suck out the plug find some tubing that fits the drain and a long enough tube and suck it out.

With a vacuum
