I replaced a freeze plug in my son's 1992 S-10 2.8. Had to remove the tire and still couldn't get a straight shot at it to drive in the replacement. Had to make a drift of a large dowel rod and it took numerous attempts before I was finally able to drive it in flush. Reaching in from above the upper control arm, was perhaps 20 degrees from perpendicular. Wasn't sure I was going to make it. A couple of months later and the same plug on the opposite side of the block has rusted through and needs replacement. Any of you have any tricks or pointers that would make the process easier? I rebuilt a few engines back in my youth and this is trivial with the engine removed but installed - what a bugger!
Thanks.
