Replacing welch/core plug in cylinder head
Hi all,
My 1993 XT600Z Tenere has developed an oil leak from the welch plug (aka core plug) that is fitted in the cylinder head to fill the hole where a decompresser shaft would have come out on earlier models.
I have bought a Yamaha replacement part and am wondering on the best way to remove the one that has been there for 20 years. Can I just hammer a screwdriver through it and lever it out? I would rather not take the cam cover off to hammer it out from behind, but I suppose that might be the last resort.
Anyone have experience of doing this?
Thanks
Mark
