You have one that's leaking Killer? If so, when you get ready to install the new one find something only slightly smaller than the ID of the new plug to hit to seat it. A single hit is best, as multiple hits tend to stretch the metal somewhat making a good seal difficult to get and you end up with another leaking plug. Some guys have fashioned custom tools to do the job, others use wooden plugs to seat the metal one.
