Hello guys, new to me '04 Liberty Renegade with just over 100k miles purchased from an insurance auction. First jeep ever, 6th vehicle. I have a '97 Dodge Ram diesel 5spd, '99 BMW E39 wagon, '01 BMW 740i, '03 Mercedes S55 AMG, and a '08 BMW 535xi wagon all of which I work on myself, I'm a car enthusiast and DIY'er that 100% avoids $tealership labor.
There is one problem, casting plug (freeze plug) leak, drivers side middle, the one that's almost hidden by the engine mount. Looks like it was replaced without any Permatex because its shiny but leaks from the sides. 100% diy guy, so I'll be doing all the maintenance, looking forward to keeping this on the road for years to come.
Anyone have any tips on removing that freeze plug? Eyeballing, it looks like if I remove the drivers side exhaust manifold, engine mount and jack the motor up I should have enough room to get it out and replaced but would like to confirm that if anyone has done their plugs.
