Freeze Plugs Installation

If you need to remove an old set of freeze plugs, the easiest method that also won't hurt the block is to use a punch and hammer. Place the punch on the lip of the freeze plug and knock that side of the plug in to spin it in the hole. If you try to place the punch inside the cup of the plug you will just knock a hole in it. Be careful not to scar the block.
