Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm sorry If this is the wrong section for my post. I recently bought a blazer that I thought was in need of one freeze plug where a block heater was ran and leaking all the coolant. My almost retired mechanic changed the one out for me on the drivers side. Then the bad news came.... it needs another freeze plug in the center of the passenger side. My mechanic said he has no interest in changing that one as it looks like a real pain in the A**. So I'm looking for any advice on how to tackle the project. Thank you in advance for any help!

 

hate to give you a generic answer but you need to move whatever is in the way to get at it, exhaust manifold, steering shaft, etc. as far as changing the plug itself i never really found them that hard once you have access. ive always just taken a punch and hammer and smash them into the block then just grab a pair of pliers or your fingers and grab it out. little tricky getting the new one to go in flush, maybe buy a few extra just encase you bend one or screw it up.

see if theres any videos on youtube that can give you some tips as its kinda hard to while typing
