How to remove crank oil plug? So it looks like the oil plug in the back of my 4" Eagle crankshaft has officially oiled down my Textralia Exoskel. 
I plan on doing the JB weld fix and putting some silicone in the hole too. It originally had some silicone in the hole since I got it from LME, but it seems to have leaked by it. My motor has extremely good oil pressure too BTW, not really helping the problem.
I've read that you can take the plug out, JB weld it, and put it back in, but how? Has anyone done this? I was cussing Textralia until I took it apart, now Eagle can eat a dick and die.

Thanks for the link. 
Anyone have any more specifics other than jam a screwdriver in there with a hammer?
I SERIOUSLY don't want to pull the motor out of this car and/or screw something up. I HATE messing with the pilot bearing/crank pulley/etc. Very easy to screw something up.
