Default Freeze Plug Replacement

My 96 blazer has a bad coolant leak from a freeze plug. It's the one on the passenger side of the engine closest to the engine mount. Does anyone know how I can replace the plug without pulling the whole engine?

Also, I've heard at least 1 of the freeze plugs is completely impossible to replace without pulling the engine. Is this true? This truck is a beater and not worth the effort to pull the engine.

theres one or two freeze plugs behind the motor inbetween the motor and the transmission so you would probably be better off pulling the transmission if those are leaking.

if its behind the motor mount i doubt you have to pull the motor you probably just have to disconnect that motor mount and lift the the motor up a hair and just remove the motor mount and anything else thats in the way. this sounds familiar to me as i think ive done one before but its been a while.
