Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the freeze plug from the engine block on the passenger side. For a long time I wasn't able to trace the leak because my undercarriage was so dirty but I got it cleaned up and found the source. From what I've heard, the easiest way to get the plug out is to remove the engine. Is there any way to do it with the engine still in?
Thanks for the help in advance!

 

C'mon guys, anyone have some advice? I gotta have this done within the next couple of weeks before I go and attack the sand dunes at Silver Lake.

 

Anxiousness is understandable, but you do realize this is the 4th of July weekend and lots of folks are carrying on with their lives? Nobody is paid here, so please wait at least 24 hours before bumping a post. Thanks.

 

You just have to dig into it. Removing the starter is a must. I believe that one is behind the motor mount.

If removing the starter does not give you enough room for the tools you have on hand, you may have to remove the exhaust manifold on that side.

And, as Rich stated, please be patient. It is a holiday weekend after all. Use the time between posts to do some searching.

 

Yeah, I'm sorry guys. I completely forgot about the holiday weekend and I have to get this done because after that trip I got back to school and will be unable to fix it. I was definitely too impatient. But thanks for the help, I was really dreading the thought of removing the engine, seeing as I just put that one in a year ago haha.

 

getting to see the plug will be the hard part then drill a hole screw in a slide hammer pull the plug out or you can pound in one side and pull it out of the engine then slide in the new plug and use a large scocket and pound it in

 

Just made this How-To, thanks for all the help guys!
