Kevin: My '72 Mini has a 1275, and I just looked at the freeze plug
location. I wouldn't hesitate to do it in the car as there seems pretty
good access. Be advised, though, that if one of those plugs is corroded
through, you might want to think about the rest of 'em whilst you're in
there. Just thinking about a Case backhoe we had.....
