Step 9
- Grab the plug and twist it counterclockwise to loosen it. It should pop out fairly easily.
- If it does not come out easily, do not force it. The plastic will break.
- Attempt to spray the compressed air in the area of the plug. Sprayed in the crevice where it turns, this should allow it to move easier.
