Scott,
 
You should be able to punch a hole through the plug with an awl.  That will keep chips from being a problem.  Then with a stiff punch or something similar just sort of pry the plug out.  It's pretty soft material and will deform easily with a little elbow grease.  Be careful not to scratch the crank with the tool, but the plug shouldn't do any damage since it's so soft.
 
Give me a call if I need to clarify this.

I am reinstalling my propeller and I am trying to remove the crank plug so my propeller will work. Any good ideas as to the best way to remove the plug without getting metal shavings in the oil?

 

Thanks, Scott
