Getting to freezer plugs on the back

Ok so my freezer plugs on the back of the engine are rusty and leaky (evo 5 its 16 years old). Basically engine layout is near identical to the CT9A so you guys should be able to help me with this. I was told by my tuner that they cant get to them by removing the intake, to me it seems like plenty of space. That removing the front diff might be able to access them from under the car.

How have you gone about removing them without take out the engine.

Thanks in Advance.

Exactly what I was about to say. Intake manifold & bracket and water pipe.

awesome I was thinking the same, with the intake off there is about a good 1 foot of room. When I mentioned the rear welsh plugs they made it sound like a big deal, im pretty sure engine out was mentioned and I started to feel light headed lol.

I was able to take that pic with the intake on with my Samsung phone, im sure they can knock some stupid freeze plugs out with the intake off.
