In my High School auto shop class, we would use a 3/8" or slightly
larger punch with a hammer, and strike the plug near the inside edge.
This would usually knock the plug so that it was sideways in the hole.
>From there, we would grab the edge with *Channel Lock* pliers, and
then pull it out. Using a screw driver or small punch would usually
just punch through the plug.
