Locate the bad freeze plug and remove parts that impede the facilitation of reaching the plug. Take a screwdriver and hammer out the old plug. Replace the plug with either a regular plug (a socket that fits the inside of the freeze plug helps) or a rubber expanding freeze plug.
To change the freeze plug on the driver's side of a 2.8 engine, first, drain the coolant and remove any necessary components to access the freeze plug. Use a hammer and a chisel or a punch to carefully tap around the edge of the old plug to remove it. Clean the area and ensure there are no debris or rust before installing the new freeze plug, which can be pressed in using a socket or a similar tool. Finally, reassemble any removed components and refill the coolant system.
do I have to drain the water and oil first before I remove the freeze plug
Punch it in then pull it out with whatever means.

To change the freeze plug on a 1999 Plymouth Voyager 3.0, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the coolant and remove any components obstructing access to the freeze plug. Use a hammer and a chisel or a punch to carefully remove the old freeze plug, then clean the area before installing the new plug. Tap the new freeze plug into place until it’s seated properly, then reassemble everything and refill the coolant.
Pull the old freeze plug, clean up the hole, press in a replacment. Unfortunately you may need to remove a lot of peripheral stuff to get to the freeze plug.
You have to remove the engine and get freeze plugs pressed in. If you use a rubber plug which have a brass face and bolt in. Remember that they are a temporary fix and will come out if your engine over pressureizes.
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.
Anti-freeze is not doing its job and the water freezes in the block compressing to the point that free plug does it jobs and relieves the pressure.
It is a six pin square plug under the dash on the driver side.It is a six pin square plug under the dash on the driver side.
