How did you remove your dside freeze plug?

[yeasure]

Ok, so the LDC mod is a piece of cake until it came time to remove the freeze plug.
Tried tapping it with a chisel, nope didn't work.
Kinda tried to tap it but i'm not sure i have room to do this unless i'm using the wrong tools.
Any help would be great.

Ok, the concept here is to rotate the freeze plug on an imaginary horizontal axis.
You do that by using a screwdriver or chiesel and hammer and tapping on the top edge of the plug. Do not score the freeze plug bore. You could actually tap on the top inside area of the plug too, but the first way is more effective.
Once it begins to move, it should rotate on this horizontal axis. Stop when the plug has rotated 90 degrees and is horizontal.
Grab a pair of pliers and pull the plug out towards you.
Clean the inside of the bore as Ford has used an adhesive to hold the plugs in place.
Plan "B" is to drill the center of the plug and use a dent puller to remove it. That is usually way too much work though.
Drain the coolant before you remove the plug.

Maybe an impact screwdriver if you can get it in there?
