Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
 No, don't pull the motor. You have the pleasure of pulling the transmission, replacing the freeze plugs, re-installing the tranny, and then get an alignment. The freeze plug are getting pitted from the casting sand left over from the making of the engine block. It is a huge mess to do because, after the sub-frame and transmission are out, you have to flush the entire system of coolant and water, with new clean water in an attempt to remove the debris from the engine.
