Im doing the oil block off, and can't get the metal insert off that the gear shaft rides in? I read a how-to and it says "Use pliers to pull out". Nope, not happening.
 
been a while since i've done one, but try getting something onto it from the inside and drive it out ??
try some heat on it to expand the aluminum case area.
worst case...drill a few small holes from the inside to drive it out, none of that area matters anymore once it's blocked off

I tried a little, ill go back at it later. Haven't spent too much time, not in a rush.

I left it in mine and filled it with jb stick weld

Uhh...I spent 5$ on block off plate. Not gonna spend 7$ on JB weld and half ass it taking a chance it comes loose and f*cks engine up.
 
Needs tapped out with a socket! If it's the one that resides in the cover. Can't remember the size.

aluminum block off and gasket or rtv is the best method!

the trick on here is to allow everyone to post their ideas, as lame brain, jury rigged or way over technical as they may be.
then sift threw all info provided and decide what best fits your needs and wallet.
