freeze plug question

[reddishdsb]

I hate to admit it but I knocked one in the block and cant seem to get it out.
any ideas?

I get ahold of them with vise grips and lever them out...unless you mean it fell down in the block..in which case you need a telescopic or flexable magnet

Yeah down in the block. : angry4:

I did it on a 318. I used a magnet and some pliers etc. It was a booger, but it came out with some time.

It seems like I used a screwdriver.

FWIW-ROB

if it's a bare block , you can move the block around to loosen it and get it to the hole then pry it out.
