Hi,

If you are referring to the ones between the engine and transmission bell housing, the easiest thing to do is remove the transmission. The engine and transmission need to be split to access them.

Since this is a 2wd, the transmission is easier and quicker to remove. I attached the directions from my manual for removal/replacement. However, here is a link that I feel will be more helpful:

Let me know if I have the correct freeze plugs you are referring to.

Take care,

Joe
