I used a plumbers snake chucked up in a 3/8 drive electrice drill. Pulverized the hell out of that ceramic. You have to used 02 Simms or LS1 Edit to get rid of the SES.

no their not easy to get to, atleast the passenger one is a pain. I just cut mine off, I think you have to cut them off no matter what since their welded in place.

Getting the bust-up started is tough but once you
get a fracture going it all just crumbles. I used a
long (18"?) 1/4" drill bit to make some starter holes
and then Mr. Crowbar rams it home.
