Reply With Quotenormally just punch a hole in them with a hammer and screwdriver and lever them out

One of mine is leaking (and I have the engine out), I've tried knocking one at an angle to get it moving and self tapers but it just pulled out with vice grips.
Any suggestions please? I'm a bit nervous about applying heat as it started hissing!

Hmm, maybe it's the edges being rusted but I'm having no luck!

SubscriberGet a big screwdriver, the bigger the better. Punch it through the plug (using a hammer) and lever against the block.

SupporterI'm about to do mine. Hope I don't have a similar struggle.
Noticed you had a Caterham. That's the last place I lived in before I came out here. The showroom was still there c2000 but I think they made the cars elsewhere.

I'm going to do the other 2 today so hopefully they will be easier. I ended up destroying the front one and pushing one side in, I could then squeeze if out the whole!
They have a factory in Dartford too I think, but caterham was taken over by a new owner so it's probably all changed again!

I usually use a large pin punch and the FBH, beat them at the edge till they either tilt or tear then pull them out while you;re at it dont forget all the screw in plugs and the little ones.
the ones that seal the hole used to machine the cam usually never give trouble.

Thanks, I'm rapidly learning you can generally hit things a lot harder than I think!

It's a bit like knowing how tight to do up a nut... which is to do it up until it strips then back off a half turn
