Need to replace both front freeze plugs on both sides. Do I need to lift the engine?

Good afternoon.

Yes, it would make it a lot easier for access if you lifted it off the motor mounts.

I would suggest doing all of them if you can. If one or two has failed the others are close from behind. They rot from the inside out.
