I drained the antifreeze from the radiator by unscrewing the drain valve at the bottom of the radiator. When I try to tighten it back, Im having a hard time doing so. I keeps slipping. Is there a ceratin way to tighten it?

sounds like you have cross threaded it .. you will have to re-tap (re-thread) the hole .. if you have no experience of this your best bet is a mechanic ..
