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.

Subject: [LML] crank plugs
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
