freeze plugs
#2
I would drill a small diameter hole in the plug and then pry it out with a punch.
I guess you can see the problem though: You need room for the drill, room for the punch (or whatever) and room for your hands.
If you're worried about drilling into the block, don't. There will be a space behind the plug which is why it is there in the first place.
They are not really "freeze plugs" but rather plugs that cover up the holes required to put the sand cores into the block for the water jackets.
