It's just a good practice to replace the Freeze Plugs while you have access to them. That is especially true for the one behind the flywheel.

If you have no history of when they were installed, it's cheap insurance. Be sure to clean up the holes with some sandpaper and use a thin layer of sealant on the new plugs. Brass is preferable.
