YOU CAN USUALLY KNOCK THEM SIDEWAYS WITH A STRAIGHT TIPPED SCREW DRIVER AND A HAMMER AND THEN USE A PAIR OF PLIERS TO PULL THEM THE REST OF THE WAY OUT...BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY INTO THE BLOCK...AFTER YOU GET THE OLD ONE OUT, MAKE SURE THE OPENING IS FREE OF RUST AND CORROSION AND ALSO CHECK FOR BURRS LEFT BEHIND FROM THE REMOVAL...THE NEW PLUG CAN BE DRIVEN IN WITH A SOCKET THAT FITS THE INSIDE DIAMETER OF THE PLUG...ONCE AGAIN...BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DRIVE IT IN TOO FAR...THE OUTER EDGE OF THE PLUG SHOULD BE FLUSH WITH THE BLOCK...IF YOU PUT THE NEW PLUG IN THE FREEZER FOR A HALF HOUR OR SO, IT WILL SHRINK A LITTLE AND MAKE THE INSTALLATION A LITTLE EASIER...IF CLEARANCE IS AN ISSUE YOU MAY WANT TO TRY A RUBBER EXPANSION PLUG...THEY ARE MUCH EASIER TO INSTALL IN TIGHT SPACES...THE KEY IS TO TAKE YOUR TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DRIVE THE PLUGS TOO FAR INTO THE BLOCK AND POSSIBLY PUNCH A HOLE IN THE CYLINDER WALL BEHIND THE PLUG...

Yourbyte is pretty close. Just put a thin coat of locktite around the edge of the new plug before you drive it in. Not around the edge of the hole. You want to keep from getting any in the block.
