And I would have to fine a sleeve that would extend in the hole enough and not stick out to far..3. If I go the jb way, will "oiling the plug screw" work to keep the jb from sticking to it? And you would use teflon spray to oil it?4. I might just try the "expandle rubber plug" that slower suggested first...Out of these four options which would you do? I was thinking look for sleeve first, then rubber plug, then jb, then #1...</blockquote>
