What's the best way to do the freeze plug on 78 20r


Recommended Posts

It requires the use of a big hammer. Do you have room to swing one?

They also make emergency expandable rubber ones that use a wrench to tighten.

Thank you for getting back so fast. I have the rubber one to put back in after i get the old one out. I cant get the old one out. Not much room to work. I have drilled a self tapping screw in and still no luck. If I only had an air chissel.

Usually what I do is flip it meaning hit it close to the edge and kind of roll it around then you can lever it out. Years ago I worked in an auto machine shop and we found old freeze plugs inside of the block all the time so if it falls in it's not the end of the world. Put a brass one in it will never leak again.
