By the way they are not "FREEZE" plugs. They are core plugs for the casting process.
Drive the new ones in with a mallet and a deep socket or other driver that just fits inside them. Use brass replacements.
Drive one edge of the plug in with a punch. this should cause the plug to flig sideways allowing you to grab it with pliers and pull it out. Then coat the edge of the new seal and the hole with sealant, place a socket that just fits inside the new plug and carefully drive it in. Keep it square to the opening. [links]
If they popped out because your block had water in it and it froze you may have bigger problems. here

Are there any tricks to installing concave freeze plugs in 235/261 engine blocks. The plug I need to install is located behind the bell housing, so a leak would be very unhandy if discovered after the engine is installed. I looked in the GM factory manual and did not see this topic addressed.
I replaced mine when I had the toeboard cut out. [links]
I think the one behind the bell housing is the convex type that sits on a lip. If so, put some sealant on it and hit the centre to expand it. A rebuilder told me to place a hammer on the centre and then strike the hammer with another hammer. I have some photos in my webshots of mine before and after.
