Default leaky freeze plug...

so i have a leaky freeze plug on my 96 xj, i am pretty sure its causing my jeep to overheat at idle and im losing quite a bit of coolant from it, which obviously contributes to the overheating. of course it is the freeze plug that is located directly behind the motor mount, making it impossible to get a hammer in there to bang a new plug in.

so what are my options? unbolt the motor from the mount and lift it up some? leave it in and try to get one of those expand-a-plug things in there? or do i have to pull the whole engine and do it right? thanks alot!
