How do I go about r and r ing a bad freeze plug?

My sons 1998 Dodge Durango had a cracked radiator. We have replaced the radiator and started refilling the system and there she blows, a steady stream of fluid coming from the front most freeze plug on the passenger side of the block. Is there an easy way to remove one of these? I remember wrestling with one years ago and I seem to remember it being a pain in the a__!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I use a screwdriver that I can hit with a hammer, and drive a hole in the middle, they pry it out.

Make sure you use a little RTV when you re-install it.
