Removing Freeze Plugs

yep , me too big screw driver or pry bar hit one side rotating them and sometime use a
channel lock once they spin to pop them out.

This is how I was taught.......knock them 90 degrees sideways , and use a channel locks to pop them right out by grabbing the side.
Use the block to set the edge of your pliers jaw and they come out way easier than you'd think.
