Core plug removal ?

[Martinaston]

Whats the best way to get them out ?

[Dan318-is]

gently, copper hyde hammer and a small punch on the edge of them

dont drop them in the block

as soon as they get at a gripable angle so to speak, i used mole grips on a tight setting to get them out

[Martinaston]

I've been pounding it with a 6lb slide hammer and they don't budge

[Dan318-is]

no no no

youl damage the housing then youl leak water!

just be patient and use a punch to prise the edges off

just dont drop them in the block or its goodnight!

The blocks on the bench

The blocks on the bench

as it should be

waht i mean is they are still next to impossible to get out the block whether its in pieces or not cos they r such a snug fit

[Martinaston]

Is there a quicker way ?
I have to do all of them.
