What tool do you use to remove the freeze plug on the side of the block of a V10? I noticed it does not have a head on it, rather uses a square head internally?

Hope this makes sense...

Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but I'm assuming that it's similar to the plug on the differentials. In which case you use the 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar with no socket. The ratchet should fit into the square hole just like you would attach a socket.

Clear as mud?

The required tool to remove the freeze plug is an 8mm hex allen wrench or socket.
