HELP, how to remove freeze plug for oil return

Racing4funn · 10-09-2008, 12:04 PM

Trying to install twins. The second oil return uses a plugged hole and it looks like its plugged with a freeze plug.

I need to get this thing out

Take a hammer and small punch, tap the plug on one side, it should rotate up in the hole, then grab it and pull it out.
