thankyou

 

thanks

 

Freeze plugs shouldnt be hard ive done them in my mustang before theirs brass expandable ones and the regular ones

 

Welcome to the site. Do you know which one(s) have been leaking? That will tell you how much work it will be to repair. I would use the brass expandable ones for replacement while engine is installed, easer to work with, OEM type have to be driven in with a punch and hammer and should be put in with engine removed.

please more info about the brass expandable ones i can see the plug thats gone but how would i fit them with the old holed one still there ? many thanks
