Freeze plugs really are as easy as you think-
the only 'tricks' are to make sure that the
mating surfaces are smooth and clean, and to use a
thin bead of RTV on it- it not only helps sealing, it
also lets it slip into place more easily. And yes,
a socket works fine.
Any decent auto parts store will have them- they're a buck or so at most.
