How do you replace a freeze plug in your 1992 Chevy?
The hardest part of the job is GETTING TO the freeze plug. Depending on which one is leaking, sometimes you need to pull quite a bit of stuff just to get to the freeze plug. You need to be able to examine it and have clear access to the freeze plug and if it's one of the rear plugs (under the flywheel), you're only option is to pull the engine and/or transmission. Once you can get to it, just drive a screwdriver or other sharp object through the freeze plug and pry it out. Clean the block around the freeze plug then install one of the aftermarket types, preferably one that allows you to tighten a bolt to install it. You'll have trouble getting an original type freeze plug to seal if you don't have the engine block sitting on a workbench. Any time you have an engine machined, always replace the freeze plugs.
How do you change freeze plug on 1994 Chevrolet Silverado?
It depends on the freeze plug. Generally though, pull everything out of the way so that you can get to it. There may be one or more in the BACK of the engine, so to get to those you will need to separate the engine and transmission.If it's a side freeze plug, for example behind the starter, you would need to pull the starter and anything else that might hinder access to the freeze plug. Then, pull the freeze plug out using whatever method you find acceptable. Generally, if the freeze plug is rusted, you can put a large screwdriver or small pry bar into the weakened area then pry out the freeze plug.Once the old plug has been removed, clean the opening and install the new one. If you have the type with the tightening screw, just tighten it in to seal it. Otherwise you'll need to press in the new one, making sure to get a good seal.
How do you install an engine block heater 2004 Chevy trail blazer V6-4.2L?
First check and see if there is a pouch located directly beside your battery. If there is a pouch it will contain a plug that is for the factory engine block heater. If there is no plug then you can pursue an aftermarket type. There are several types. If you want to use a freeze plug block heater, you'll need to have someone help you remove a freeze plug. That usually requires that you remove a lot of the peripheral equipment until you can get a clear access to one of the freeze plugs. Measure the freeze plug then go to an auto parts store and purchase a freeze plug block heater of that specific size. Once you have one that will fit into the hole, you can drill a hole in the freeze plug, then use a prying instrument to remove the old freeze plug. The block heater freeze plug usually goes in with a nut to tighten the freeze plug into the hole. BTW, you'll get a lot of antifreeze all over when you do this, and plan on taking your time since it will be time consuming.
