I've tried it with limited success. But let me tell you something that my son learned at auto deisel college. For removing pipe plugs from castings,blocks,transmissions,rear ends etc...WAX. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't done it myself. Just heat the area,press a candle of other block of wax against it. The heat will pull the wax into the threads and lubricate them. I had a plug in a rearend housing that I'd tried everything with,practically had it ruined with a chisel. He told me to heat it again while he went in the house and got a candle. He pushed it up against it then said let it cool a little. I did,then took a chisel and barely tapped it. It spun right around and I turned it out with my fingers. Try it,it works.
