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.

I drilled and tapped mine and pulled it out with a long bolt

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.

Mine was tight and I'm amazed how much dirt was behind it,definetley well worth pulling out

Glad you said that. I was just beginning to think sahll I leave it in there. The last thing in the block too. Shame on me for having such thoughts
