Hi,
I have a slightly leaking freeze plug on the drivers side cylinder head, it is on the back side of the head (against the firewall). There is only about 3 inches of clearance thru there, should you be able to replace that plug without having to remove the head or lifting the engine?

Thanks

I doubt it, but there is a freeze plug tool with an adjustable head on it. Problem is once you get the old one out...well you know!

Could you point me in the direction of that tool? Also, how much pressure do you think it would require to press a new one in?

You can buy it from Snap on tools...or try tour local auto parts store. When you see the tool it's kinda self explanitory...
