Hello,
We finally took time and got the two plugs out that had broke off.
Just used drill bit to take them down smaller and a hacksaw blade to put some notches in them without going to far to damage threads.
Used a punch and chisel to break them a loose, then put ease out in one and it spun out and another drill bit in the other and it spun out also.
Have them rethreaded now for new plugs.
 
Hint for next time...

Heat the remnant red hot 2 or 3 times, with full cooling each time, then unscrew with fingertip.

LOTS less metal chips and destruction that way!

plugs up RED hot sounds interesting since I have 2 plugs that will not come loose. Can you expand on your comment a little??
are you saying to use a Torch to heat them?? or some other means.. Thank you
