Has anyone ever tried to remove the factory pipe plug (for lack of a better word), from the driver's side, where the aux. fan switch would be? I am trying to install a Hypertech fan switch, but can not get that stupid plug to budge. It is a 5/16" square hole, which presented a problem right from the start. Went and bought a piece of bar stock, welded it into a socket, and using a 1/2" breaker bar, twisted the bar stock, yet it still won't budge. Why GM didn't use a 3/8" hole so you could use a hardened extension from a common ratchet and socket set is beyond me. The engine is cold, so it ain't a thermal thing. Any advise would be appreciated.

P.S. I called a couple of plumbing supply stores in hopes of finding the proper "tool", to no avail. If anyone knows of such a tool, please let me know where. Otherwise I suppose I'll have to put a manual switch to the fan and be done with it. TIA to anyone who chimes in.
