VA freezer plug

if replacing freezer plugs, can it be done without pulling engine?

Depends which ones. The ones on the rear iron could be done with the motor in the car if you pull the trans. But the ones in the front iron behind the front cover aren't worth trying. That being said, they rarely go bad in these cars. If they rust through, chances are your cooling system is in very poor shape. This happens most often when the coolant is never changed.

just wanted to post and say your avatar is great......

Tension bolt washers can be another culprit.
