Hi! A heat gun (hot air only) worked for me then a good clout with a hammer
and a chisel on the outer diameter.

Does anyone know the best way to get this plug out?  I burred the hexagonal
inset, so hex key (allen key) no longer going to get it out.  I have tried
clonking gently with hammer (as per various instructions) to loosen, to no
avail.

My plug replacement is of the new variety that can be removed with a
ring-spanner.  Just got to get the old out and check for filings.

Perhaps a left handed thread bolt/screw that self-taps into the burred
inset??

Any ideas welcome.
