thermactor plugs

Need to replace the plugs in the rear and front (on the heads). is there an easy way of getting to the rear ones. from a previous thread, i was planning on drilling a hole in the firewall. but it looks like the plug is located in line where the bottom half and the top half of the cab meet. will something like jb weld or something like it work as a temporary fix. any suggestions?

the rear ones have the pipe (?) still attached. cut off and crimped shut.

I had the back one blow a while ago, I just drilled through the firewall close to it, and after getting the bits out from the old plug, I then hammered in a new plug and made a stainless steel plate and screwed it on with some sealant.
Then after the front one burnt through, so had to move the altenator and cleaned the hole out and tapped in a new one there too.
