Also, does anyone know if I should be using a sealant when fitting the plug - and if so, what sealant?
Any other generic advice while doing this is appreciated - about to put everything back together |
yes flat side in first , no sealant on a core plug it is a tight fit in the hole. find something round which fits in the core plug with a slight bit of play then be positive and hit it in firmly not small taps . use a larger hammer.
