On my Insight, I just used a socket wrench and pulled the coolant drain plug, then quickly stuck the block heater into the hole and tightened it down. I got some warm coolant on my hands but not much. The biggest risk with one of these is that you'd get bubbles in your coolant system and would need to burp it.
