ferp420 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 the missing freeze plug more than likly rusted away shouldent be to hard to do in the car but definitly easyer if you pull the motor just make sure the old plug is completly gone before you try to put the new one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgrove56 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I think I'm going to put a magnetic drain plug in in hopes it will catch what's left of the freeze plug. The access holes in the frame line up pretty good with that plug. Got 1 on order from the Subaru dealer, be here in a few days. Hope my motor don't rust up between now and then. The part number I ordered 11051aa010 $3.00 I hope it's the right part Edited September 27, 2015 by kgrove56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
