    I've done this before but watched how you did it. Same same. Good job. I have to do that on my '88 GMC now. Thanks for the reminder video.

    My recollection from mechanic's training is that you want to drive the outer lip flush rather than driving the inside because the force of driving it from the inside can warp the outer bits. That would also help with getting it cocked. Did anyone else get that lecture? That said doing anything in a cramped space will always be whatever gets the job done.

    I feel your pain! Discovered the one behind the motor mount was leaking on my 71 Chevelle. Luckily I don’t drive much, but was contemplating pulling the motor before I started thinking about doing it your way. I have all the time in the world to work on it. Great video and now gotta start on mine ! Maybe I’ll video it too….

    Both the drivers and passenger front plugs failed on mine. Found out after i heat siezed the motor. Cooled off and fired right back up while i was filling the radiator. Found out it was like a waterfall. Motor is fine

    A few suggestions: 1. Use a deep well socket. It gives you room to grip it while tapping. 2. Use Permatex water pump gasket maker. It is especially formulated to work with coolant. 3. Use the right amount of sealant. You applied too much. 4. Use a peen ball hammer. That's what mechanics use. Claw hammers are for carpenters.

    Thanks. I enjoyed both your videos on this topic. I'm about to try this on my 1972 Datsun 240Z. It seems that the brass replacement plugs would last longer and never rust ? Any reason why I should use steel ones instead ?

    I have one leaking on my 88 Ford F250 7.3 diesel. Gotta do this but I need the freeze plug tool to do it. Its in the back of the block between the firewall and engine. The tool will allow you to do it without having to pull the motor.

    Hi great video 😊How many freeze plugs are in a 06 Honda Pilot? Do you recommend doing engine mounts since the engine must be dropped anyway?

    Will freeze plug only leak with engine running? I was told freeze plug bad, car been sitting and the fluids in the radiator still holding up

    Do I need to remove both motor mounts or just loosen the opposite side only just to replace one freeze plug behind the driver side motor mount (350 chevy)?
