I live in Glendale, AZ and was wondering if there was any fellow jeepers in the area that has done this or would be interested in helping me remove my transmission and replace the leaking freeze plug in the bell housing behind the engine. Not really looking to pay someone unless it could be fairly cheap. IV got a Jack and basic hand tools but lack the experience of romoving an aw4 transmission. All help would be appreciated.

:facepalm: there are freeze plugs in the engine that are covered by the bellhousing, I think theres one in the head and block on the back side so you have to drop the trans to get to them.
I know where the freeze plug is. I know where they all are and what is needed to remove it, I am simply trying to find some nice jeepers that wanna help.

I take it none of you realize that I know there is not a freeze plug on the bell housing. Technically there is one inside it (On) the back of the engine block. I'm not stupid nor appreciate a bunch of ppl trying to make fun of me.

I got you loud and clear... Ignore them. If I where closer I would lend a hand. Hopefully someone will give you some help for the cost of food/beer (depending on age) Originally Posted by DESERTXJ206

Correct, you do have to drop the trans to get to the one on the back of the block (inside the bell-housing) the one on the head I have always done with the head removed... but You could probably do it with the trans removed as well... never needed to, just replaced it while the head is off...Originally Posted by TheJerm

Just to clarify for people who don't understand... the freeze plug is right here- bottom right is the cam plug, just above that and almost center is a freeze plug, and top and center is a freeze plug as well.
Thanks gorillaxj I will be pulling the head to replace the gasket in a afew weeks so I planned on getting that one back there. Just trying to find out how long it took most people to drop the aw4 and put it back it.
