Hi:
There are several freeze plugs on the engine. They will be located on the block itself. To replace one, drain the coolant, using a pry bar of some sort, poke a hole through the old plug and pry it out. To replace it, I have always tapped them back in using a block of wood and a hammar. However, if space is limited, they make an expandable rubber plug that just requires you to tighten a bolt on it. They are much easier to install.
Finally, I have no way of sending a picture to you of a freeze plug. I can't copy and paste from our manual. But, I will gladly answer any other questions to help.
