I'm having a hard time trying to change my freeze plug. It's located in an akward postion, behind my Transmission. How would I get it out? I've been trying for the past several hours.

No Magic..Perserverence. IF you don't have tools to get to , may have to back off the tranny.

Long chisels to cut or push, pnuematic sabre saw, Dent puller to reach in and hook it. long needle nose if you can get it cut.

Comes down to imagination and ingenuity sometimes.
