I think I have tried everything, the hole in the plug that I have the pliers in is now bending I’m pushing so hard. I’ll take the hack saw to it, thanks for all your help everyone.

One of these

Ok so I tried the grip and pliers option and this happened….What should I go for now, hack saw the threaded bit off I guess?

Ah thanks rodders, so basically get my angle grinder on the go and carefully try and cut the offending part off? The silicon has been used but i can scrape it off.

I have a narrow internal door (70cm roughly), above it there are no brick walls on the upper level. I am wondering if there is any reason why I can’t take off the wood architrave and angle grind off about the depth of a brick to widen it. I am worried that perhaps there is a reason it wasn’t...
