Popped a freeze plug, pulled the turbo kit and was replacing the new one, didn't have a seal driver like I should have and just used a socket. This is the result. The plug was all the way inside the block, I got it out with a magnet and now it's kind of resting on the hole of the block but could still drop down at any time with a good knock. Who here can come up with the most creative solution to get this son of a ***** out?

The edge you see on the right side (looks distorted) is where it is holding onto the block the best.

 

You could try a magnet with a stronger Pull Force. 25lb might do the tric. For a great price and fast shipping, try Magcraft or good old McMASTER-CARR.

 

get a punch tap one edge in, that will flip an edge up for you to grab with Pliers.

 

Hell drill a whole in it and stick a metal screw into the whole and pull it out..

 

I just talked to JAM. They said the way they get freeze plugs out of the block is to punch them in first and then bend them with a "lady foot pry bar".

 

That is what I would do. Just use a small drill bit to minimize the amount of metal shavings that will be created.

 

all are good options to get it out. sorry man but good luck

 

+1 thats the way I get mine out all the time.

 

liar you turn the boost up til they shoot out across the shop

 

yeah you can do it that way also, it might cost you a bit more. LOL

 

Success!!!!!

 

 

awesome! glad to hear all went well! I thought of a creative way, but youalready fixed it, so ill wait for the next guy lol
