To replace freeze plugs in a 1994 Ford Ranger, first drain the engine coolant and remove any components obstructing access to the freeze plugs. Use a freeze plug removal tool or a hammer and chisel to carefully remove the old plugs. Clean the areas where the new plugs will be installed, then insert the new freeze plugs using a socket or driver to ensure they are seated properly. Finally, refill the coolant and check for leaks after starting the engine.

how do you replace the freeze plugs between the transmision and motor on a 1997 f150 5.4
The hardest part is getting to them. You have to be able to get clear access to the freeze plugs. There are typically several, and often there are a some that are difficult to reach. You'll need to look at a reference manual to see where they all are. Sometimes you have to pull the engine to get to the freeze plug that is under the flywheel/flex plate. It depends where the freeze plugs are located. I just recently had the rear plugs replaced on my ranger v6 3.0 and you cannot reach them. I had a shop do the work and instead of lifting the engine out they dropped the transmission and was able to reach them from underneath.
lots of freeze plugs along bottom side of engine block on rear of block behinf fly wheel on engine heads
No- but you do have to be ambidextrous. My 93 Ranger is a bear, so I always replace with the best plugs I can find. Having different lenghts of socket extensions is also a must.
drill a hole in it install a screw and pry it out then drive in a new one
No, they are in the engine block, not in the heads. Freeze plugs are a misnomer. They are actually casting plugs.
On a 1995 Ford Ranger, the freeze plugs, also known as core plugs, are located on the engine block. Typically, you'll find them on the sides and rear of the engine, and they may also be present in the cylinder heads. They are usually round metal plugs that help to prevent coolant from freezing and causing engine damage. To access them, you may need to remove certain components like the intake manifold or exhaust manifold, depending on their location.
