Anyone ever done it? A welch plug on the Jeep went west DURING its NCT (which went fine, just need headlights aligned), picking up new ones tomorrow.
I gather its a case of punching out the old + hammering in the new?

had the same problem on a renault many years ago.
I got some of that metal glue and glued them all up.
If one is gone the rest will go.
