Does anyone have a way of removing pipe plug threads from the hole. They are stuck good. Screw extractor did NOT work. The plug is made of cheap cast iron, I think. All ideas are greatly appreciated!

I just went through this the other day I welded a large nut on and then waited a few minutes and it came right out

Is it in a place where you can safely apply some heat from a welding torch to loosen the threads? Sometimes a square chisel tapped into the plug is enough to turn it out after heating cherry red. When resorting to cutting with a hacksaw, I prefer to make the two cuts close together- it's easier to get the small chunk loose; then I tap each end of the balance with a chisel to collapse it enough to come out.

I had this happen with some plugs in old cast-iron radiators. I had some success using a chisel to drive the broken off section out (tapping it counter-clockwise). If it was rusted too badly, I made two cuts with a hacksaw through the threads (one cut at 12 o'clock, the other at 6 o'clock), and then used a chisel or punch to knock the half-pipe section loose. The new plugs seemed to seal fine with thread sealant.

If it is a small-diameter plug, you may be able to use a screw or bolt extractor.
