FREEZE PUGS!!
i got a 350 motor and i noticed the back freeze plug was leaking when i was cleaning it...i have never changed freeze plugs so how would i go about doing this..the motor is on a motor stand but all the internals are in there...and i dont know if i should replace them all or just the leaky one...the block number is 3970010 i believe the freeze plugs are brass and if they are would it be agood idea just to change one? and how do u do it thanks.

To remove the plugs, use an awl, poke them and pop them out.
Install new ones with a hammer and plug driver.

Yes you don’t have to remove parts.
If the other plugs look OK I would leave them.
The majority of engines never need their freeze plugs replaced.
