Default Mini-me oil jet question

I checked this source: http://www.dodo-upgrades.nl/cityme.htm

Mounting the VTEC head
People wondering about the so-called oil plug you have to remove from the oil jet when putting a VTEC head on a D15B2/B7 engine should wonder no longer. The oil plug simply isn’t there, so nothing to remove.

But my D14A2 does have it.. what is the best way to remove it without destroying it?

It looks like this (see pic)

Searching google images i get like:





But what is the best and savest way to remove it?




Edit: Extra question, what is the best way to clean the pistons? they are kinda black-ish now so i was thinking of cleaning them

That's the method most people use to remove it. If it's unusually stubborn you could try a mini slide hammer. In not sure what write up that quote came from but it's probably referring to a Y7 block as it doesn't have an oil jet like the A6/B7/B8/B2 blocks

just be careful to keep the shavings out of the block. theyre stubborn sometimes, but usually come out with a little elbow.
