To replace a freeze plug on a 1996 Ford 3.0L engine, first drain the coolant and ensure the engine is cool. Locate the damaged freeze plug, then use a punch or a screwdriver to carefully tap it inward until it can be removed. Clean the area, apply a sealant to the new freeze plug, and use a socket or appropriate tool to drive it into place, ensuring it’s seated properly. Finally, refill the cooling system with coolant and check for leaks.

How do you replace a freeze plug on a 3.0 liter ford engine?

I cannot direct you how - however, I can say I had my freeze out plug go (and there are four) on my 1998 Ford Taurus. They are easy to replace as my mechanic said; however, in my car - due to the location - behind engine - the trans had to be removed. I got 3 quotes ranging from $750 - $1300. Might as well service the trans at that point as well and replace the other plugs.
