May be able to knock it loose just with that. If not apply a flat face punch to the notch made by the chisel. I've done it several times easily.

It works well and pops it loose so you can turn it with an allen.I have done it many times that way.

Then use a large screwdriver in the groove and Vise Grips to get the plug moving.

One way is to use a small set of vise grip pliers and there is enough shoulder to grab it. You can use a small butane torch and heat the case around it. Try to direct the heat on the case and not the plug. Then have someone use a metal rod on it and rap it with a hammer as you apply force with the vise grips. Comes right out. The other way is to use a Dremel tool with a cut off blade. Put a straght grove in the plug and use a large tip screwdriver to turn with a wrench attached to the screwdriver shaft for additional leverage and it will come right out. Again heat the case and rap it with a hammer and metal rod. Do not cut so deep in the screw plug with the Dremel to damage the case sealing edge. Both of these ways work and are easy to do. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az. Light Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated Rotax Repair Center - Heavy Maint.
