Steel or brass freeze plugs are the best ones,rubber freeze plugs are just for temporary
You have to remove the engine and get freeze plugs pressed in. If you use a rubber plug which have a brass face and bolt in. Remember that they are a temporary fix and will come out if your engine over pressureizes.
take a large screw driver and a hammer tap the old freeze plug in the block,replace it with a rubber freeze plug.tighten the rubber freeze plug with a wrench..the metal freeze plug that you pushed inside the block will not hurt anything..hope this helps!!!!
The steel freeze plug is better than a brass freeze plug. This is because the steel freeze plug can withstand high temperature from the engine block. Moreover, the steel freeze plugs usually fit very well.
either side of engine block you will see the brass circular shaped freeze plug.
Locate the bad freeze plug and remove parts that impede the facilitation of reaching the plug. Take a screwdriver and hammer out the old plug. Replace the plug with either a regular plug (a socket that fits the inside of the freeze plug helps) or a rubber expanding freeze plug.
the best thing to do is to pull out the engine and replace them all with brass freeze plugs because if on fails it will only be a while before you have more, and use antifreeze coolant
The point of a rubber (or any other kind of) freeze plug is that whatever the plug in in is not SUPPOSED to freeze and the freeze plug is a last-ditch effort to protect the inside of whatever the plug is in (a car engine I assume?) from the damage caused as the liquid expands as it freezes. The plug is the last line of desperate defense from abuse; you need to take precautions (like filling your radiator with antifreeze) that will PREVENT the ice from forming. 5/5/2009: I decided to install a rubber freeze plug in my vehicle. According to the directions on the back of the package, the washer that sits behind the nut, should be almost flush with the engine block. The nut should be turned 2-3 complete turns for the plug to properly seat.
Pry out the old one, gently tap in a new one, brass preferably.
It depends on where the freeze plug is. Some Are on the back of the motor requiring the transmission to be removed. Once you can see it you can take it out with a screwdriver and it is easier to replace with a rubber one rather than a metal one.
knock old freeze plug to make it turn across , then pull it out with a plier or vise grip. or knock it all the way in, then turn it across and pull it out, best if you pull from the middle. your local parts store might have the rubber style freeze plugs cost less than $5.00 easy to install no hassle
no such thing,freeze in plug
slide hammer and and a screw drill the screw in the freeze plug then pull it with a slide hammer and it should pop out then tap the new one in with a rubber mallet
