As above, need to replace my plugs, any hints as to the easiest way to go about removing them?

I normally punch a hole in the centre with a chisel and lever them out.

I just tip mine with a punch.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Water - drift one side until it rotates. Remove with pliers.

Oil - find suitable size tap. Keep turning tap until plug rotates. Then pull and turn until plug pulls out.

Oil - self tapper then claw hammer.
