In the process of overhauling my 263, I need to replace at least some, and perhaps all, of the freeze plugs. I have two problems:
1) I can't get the freeze plugs out. Drilled a hole in the middle, tried to pry on the plug. But it is badly corroded, and just collapsed. Tried another, same result. There are several “how to” videos on the ‘net, all make it look easy, but none show removal of the cup-type freeze plugs used on the 263. Anyone who has done this, I’d really appreciate a suggestion.
2) Where do you buy replacements? I haven’t checked all of my usual suppliers, but have yet to find any listed for the 263.
