how to change the rear freeze plugs in a 1996 Ford bronco 5.8L v8 engine. we want to know how hard would it be to change them.

You have to either pull the engine or drop the transmission/flywheel to gain access to the rear freeze plugs. Once you have access they are easy to replace. Knock them in then grab them with vise grips and pull them out. Clean up the opening and install the new ones with a light coat of sealer taking care not to drive them in to far or you'll have to start over with another new plug. Before I bought the correct tool to install them, I used a 1/2" drive socket that fits nice inside the plug along with a short 1/2" extension then tapped the plug in gently with a hammer until it is seated flush with the block.
