To change the rear freeze plugs you need a special tool, please check out the link below to see what I am talking about, plus there are instructions in the images below.

Changing out the freeze plugs can be a challenge so be ready. It looks like there are three freeze plugs down either side of the block. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of the problem so we can see what's going on.

Each freeze plug has its own set of difficulties depending on the location. once the freeze plug is punched inwards it will turn int he freeze plug hole, when it does grab it with a pair of channel locks to remove it, then use the installation tool and air hammer to install the new freeze plug, I like to use sealer on the plug to ensure no leakage. If you can show me an image of the plug, in question and can guide you.
