How do you unplug radiator plug?

If you mean a freeze plug, that is usually in the engine block, not in the radiator. Maybe you mean a clogged radiator. If that is the case. First you would flush it out with water. You can remove the hose from the bottom. Then reattach the hose and add water and a chemical radiator flush product that you can buy from the auto supply store. Drive for about an hour of more. Then flush out the radiator again. Refill the radiator with water and see if your engine runs cool enough. If all that does still does not work go to a radiator shop and have them rod it out. If they can't do that, you may have to put in a new radiator. Good luck. One more thing. You may also want to check the thermostat.
