Use a punch, hammer and a pair of needle-nose pliers. Tap the plug on one side only until it's sideways. Then pull it out with the pliers. Don't let the plug fall in the engine or you'll never get it out. You can use an expansion plug or the regular tap in ones. The latter need a socket to tap them in along with some sealant. The expansion types just need a wrench to tighten them.
One word of caution, this engine has a plug over each motor mount. They are a pain to get to; requiring you to jack up the engine and take off the mount.

all depends which freeze plug it is and how accessible it is. Some you have to remove the engine to get to. Once you get access to the freeze plug just drive a screwdriver thru it and pry it out. clean the area real good and then with a small ball peen hammer or rubber mallet lightly tap in the new freezeplug until it is seated or the outer edge of the freeze plug is flush with the surface of the metal around it all the way around.

If you have clear access, drill a hole in it, they are soft, stick a screwdriver big enough for the job, pry it out. Clean the surface, get a new one, same size tap it in, done deal. truth is most of the ones that go out/leak are not very accessible, you may need to raise the engine or do whatever it takes to get at it.
