I was just giving the wife's new DD (93 ZJ 4.0) the seafoam treatment when I saw antifreeze start to dribble onto the ground. When I got down under it to check it, both the second and third freeze plugs (from the front on the side) are leaking. The second is not so bad, but the third was starting to leave a puddle. I have never changed freeze plugs before and need some instructions. I know I am going to have to pull the manifolds to get to them, but how do I get them out? I know there are both brass and rubber plugs. Does anyone have firsthand experience with the rubber ones? As far as replacement goes, I think I should be able to drive them in with either some plate steel or a wood 2x4. How long should I set aside for this job?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
