i did replace a welsh plug at the back of the head on a 1600 once, getting it out (if i remember correctly) should be easy. then i got the welsh plug in place, and then i think i smashed a hole in the fire wall and put a rod thru the hole from inside the car, and belted the plug in that way. friend held it in place while i tapped it in.
