I'm sure you got that pesky breech plug out by now - Might try this next time;Buy some "PB Blaster" (spray can) at local auto store.If PB won't loosen it with some light heat,it ain't comin out!! To prevent plug from freezin next time around,buy some "High Temp" anti seize,(comes in can w/brush)apply to threads before you screw plug back in.Should never have another frozen breech plug,unless you leave it in for 2-3 years.Later AL
