for how much they are surely its worth doing i got mine from vw and there werent expensive and while you there you may as well

[Daryl]

cheers jake whats the best way to remove them?

[Dan]

They aren't expensive, but they are very difficult to remove. Forget what haynes says you will never get them out that way. You need to punch & chisel them out. If you can grind the sealing lip thin, then chisel is away from the block then work around the lip.

I reckon if they are not leaking or look like they might start leaking sometime soon then don't disturb them.
