You can usually tap in a freeze plug on one side to twist it. Then just grab and yank it out with pliers.

Which ones do you need to replace? There is one hidden in back, another covered by the bellhousing.

Make sure you get the right size. Might even want to use loctite. I had to replace one freeze plug twice because it popped out.

There you go. Those look easy. And they definitely need to be done.

Those are the same two that leaked on mine. Go ahead and replace all of those. You'll need to remove the intake exhaust.

I don't understand your question but I'll try to answer it. Lol. I took off the intake and exhaust manifold because I had no way to install the new plugs. Not much room to swing a hammer, even with the the manifolds out of the way.

You don't have to move the engine at all.

Might want to talk to a rebuild shop, they might be able to tell you the right size. That's what I did.

Jeep themselves should have that in stock as well.
