Hi there,
Then knock out, what you have to do id try and knocking the plug so it swivels and an edge is sticking proud of the block, you can prize it out with a lever or pliers, don't knock it in to the water jacket as it can cause local hot spots as it will up set the coolant flow. mark (mhpautos)
