Sorry, thought you meant the freeze plug. I'd imagine you just stick a hex bit through the hole and unscrew it.

Yep, that's the idea

You might be able to get it out if you remove everything in front of it (timing chain, guides, cam sprockets, etc.) And use a stubby hex bit. Not sure, haven't tried.

Also, I don't think my choice of words in my previous post was the best. Didn't really make it all that clear what process would be limited by the amount of acces to the expansion plug. I'd imagine the freeze plug is mostly there for the machining of the threads and stuff. Those 90° taps are hard to some by.
