I recently spent many hours trying to get that core plug out. Managed to
make a hole in it with a finely tapered centre punch but the plug was
determined to stay where it was after 42 years. It seemed to be thicker and
have a deeper collar than an ordinary core plug. and there just was'nt
enough room in the engine bay to get a decent purchase with anything in my
armoury.
So gave up before I did any damage and took it to a local garage. They
suceeded but said it was very difficult and stubborn. They enlarged my hole
and made a squiggly sort of lever from an old screwdriver and utilised an
air hammer I think.
