Drain the coolant. Crawl under the car. You will see a row of freeze plugs on the block just below the head. Take a punch and hammer and tap the 2nd freeze plug from the left on one side so that as you tap on the one side, the other side will begin to pop out towards you. Get some pliers and pull the plug out. Install the block heater.

It depends on the block heater design, because due to the design of some block heaters they will not work on the far left or right backside frost plugs, they will only work on the middle rear frost plug hole. Not sure about the two front frost plugs. Clean up the block hole nice and put a little grease on the oring on the block heater and then push it in until it fits good. They tighten the bolt, but not too tight. Good luck.
