Default Plug where Toe hook goes

Getting ready for SITM there is a plug in where the Toe Hook screws into on the front. I have stuck in a T Handle allen wrench to remove it and it does not budge. I then stuck a long wrench on the T handle allen wrench and no moving. Any ideas on how to get it out. I really don't want to apply heat in that area with my torch

Typical.

The aluminum plug has seized in the steel socket due to dissimilar metal electrolysis.

Most have to drill it out.

Before you start to drill try to find a product by BG, it is called "InForce"
It works wonders, might not help you but I would try to get some and try it before I went to the drill.

Made of plastic so no more issues $3 and its yours.

Roger - do you mean dummy as in "pacifier" for those challenged in English English... (that's a good description of the GTS one BTW...)

Or is this another type of dummy... I assume for $3 its not an actual Porsche part? (if it is what a deal)
