[TR] TR Head Freeze Plug

I think you know the answer but just hoping for a miracle. Pull the head and do it right for piece of mind.

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” 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? 

     TIA,
