I tried the pliers trick and ended up cracking my first tube. 13 year old plastic that's subjected to quite a few heat cycles sure weakens itself up a bit! And the biggest problem if you crack a tube, the plastic bits can drop off into the crankcase. Luckily, the bits that broke off appeared to "complete the puzzle" so I'm confident I got all the bits of plastic and there's nothing left in the crankcase.
So, immediately went to Bass Pro and bought a $1.49 transom plug. The cracked tube, and the remaining 5, came out without a single problem! Should have just spent the $1.49 to begin with, instead of trying to be cheap.
