if you hammer a peice of wooden dowel into it, it should grab it enough to withdraw it.

ive used this method a couple of times.
please note, these are my own, individual sales, nothing whatsoever to do with my employer, minispares

Some I've come across already had a thread. These were engine untouched from the factory too.

Just be careful as they don't all come out easy and can do damage to the block which is difficult to fix.
