I think you know the answer but just hoping for a miracle. Pull the head =

Subject: [TR] TR Head Freeze Plug
So I have a 1953 Morgan with an original Standard Vanguard engine. =
The engine is very similar to a TR3 engine. It recently blew a head =
gasket and overheated. I had the head resurfaced and bolted it all back =
together, started it up and discovered that the freeze plug at the back =
of the head is leaking now. Dang! Wish that I had thought about that =
before reassembling... On the Morgan the freeze plug is about =
10=E2=80=9D away from the firewall and not as close as it is on a TR3. I =
do not want to pull the head again. Any known tricks on how to get the =
old plug out and the new plug in without removing the head?=20
TIA,
=20
