BTW: I can't remember if you're one of us from Sacramento or not. After
our initial failed attempt to remove the plug we took it to a guy who
teaches and lives next to Sacramento Community College Aviation (at
Exec Airport). He used the EZ-out from his fly-in driveway.
Email me if you want his info.

I've got one that is stuck tight and I don't want to booger anything up
trying to get it out. I've heard horror stories of people having to drill
them out because they are stuck but I'm wondering if an impact driver could
be used without causing any damage to the case.

Any experience or thoughts would be appreciated.
