they say drill a 1/8 inch hole and only go 1/16 thru it. then pry out. i use an ice pick and punch mine and pull them out. i then use a 1/4 drive extention to press the new one in.

You CAREFULLY drill a hole in the center, once through stop drilling. Then, insert a small straight hunk of metal like a small punch and pop them out.


Edit: beat me to the punch - what tahsasdaddy said . . .

If it were mine, i'd soak it for a couple of hours. I wouldn't leave that plastic bit in overnight though.

Others may have varying opinions.

I'm a newbe but the last ting I would do is drill inside a carb to get those frost plugs out. I would't want little tiny bits of metal in my carb. I used a small punch. Punched a hole in the center and popped them out. But maybe this post it too late.

BTW using a punch was not my idea it came from a video posted here once on re-building carbs.
