I wish that I could help more with the core plug removal, but I have only limited experience... whcih told me:

1. plugs are seated against a shoulder (as you probably know), so you cannot bang on an edge to rotate them

2. Drilling a hole in their center works well... them detmn how you will grip (sheet metal screw?) to extract

3. Volvo suggests, in their plug heater instructions, that you use one particular location. I say "Never again!" Their advice seems based on aesthetics. Pick any stinking plug you can get at. (Then again, I haven' tried every site, to see what clearance lies beneath/inside/around it.)

Report back, eh? And good luck!
