RE: (UN) freeze plug
I have used an automotive dent puller (slide hammer with a screw on the end) to get out freeze plugs.
 \\;
In an engine block you can also tap on one side of the freeze plug with a punch and spin it in the hole. \\; Then grab the plug with a pair of channel locks and pull it out. \\; I don't know how well this would work in your case.

how do you unfreeze a freeze plug?
i'm thinking drill a couple of holes, make a hook, heat it up and try to pull it out?

Plug the muffler and rev her up, it should pop right out! : ) \\

I always hit a corner with a chissel and hammer the bend in on an axis and then grab it with vise grip and pull out.
