Which one?
Do you have one leaking or why do you want to replace it?
Some are on side of block and some on front and some on the rear of engine.
They are punch and pry/pull out and drive in plugs.
But you have to be able to get to them to change them.
Are you sure it is a freeze plug leaking?

Almost certain. I pour water into the radiator and it rushes out from a lower central (passenger side) part of the engine. water pump, radiator and lines are all OK. I assume gaskets would be slower leaks than what I am seeing...

Craw under there and have a look and see where it is running out.
Post back what you see.
Has it rad coolant froze up on you?
