I have a 2001 Jeep grand Cherokee v8, it’s got 232,000 miles on it. It runs great, I keep up with whatever breaks and has been mostly a decent car for 3500$….so I had a freeze plug come out a long time ago and had someone put a replacement in. It’s one of the rubber ones with a hex head you tighten. The problem is it’s behind the starter and the exhaust manifold/header(not sure if it even called that). It was fine for a long time, now after like three months of driving it, it starts pushing that plug out and spilling antifreeze on that pipe and burning it. It’s not a huge deal to get under there and whack it back in place w a hammer and long socket extension but I would like to fix it for good. I’ve tried bending a wrench to the correct degree angle on it but I only had a short wrench, so no throw really.( now that I said that maybe that’s my problem is, I need a longer wrench?) I guess my question is, would there be anything other than freezing temperatures that push out the plugs? I live in Tennessee so it freezes but not horribly. For me to press another plug in there, would I have to take off the pipes coming from engine? It doesn’t look like fun any way I look at it. That’s why I’m here. I’ve seen a lot of good advice come from here.
