How to Replace a Freeze Plug

This video will show how to replace a freeze plug. Freeze plugs, core plugs or casting plugs...whatever you call them, they will eventually need replacing due to corrosion or leaking. Replacement can be done with the engine in the vehicle, but it's obviously a much simpler job to do if the engine is out. Although these plugs were in good shape, I figured it was good preventative maintenance to do a replacement before I installed this engine in our 4x4 Square body truck.

Very good advice and great job!!! You either have Ashley telling you to move out of the way from the camera view or you are just that awesome. Thank you!

Thank you James! But once I was actually watching the camera screen instead of just doing whatever the task was so I was a little bit more aware of when I was blocking things as I made the shot.

I've seen other videos where it takes him 30 minutes to get the plug out after it's been pushed in. Using those Channel locks saves a lot of time

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Yeah well I did have a few that I learned the hard way on before I decided to try those channel locks.

Shellac is better.

In the rear of the engine can the plugs fall in and not be able to get out?

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Generally, the transmission is removed to access the o es at the rear, so not an issue.

Somehow I find it funny that if a person has enough knowledge to remove the engine out of a car, they would need a how-to video on changing freeze plugs.🤓

You know something…you may be right. 🤣
