For stubborn push nipples in radiators I use a flat-blade screwdriver blunted on a grinding wheel. Careful tapping with hammer around and around and around until it slips out.

Often just separating the sections in even a very old radiator loosens both sides of the nipple. I first try with a rubber strap wrench.

If they have been so good to you they should cover a new block, it isn't your fault it is their liability in this case.

good luck

i guess the worst that could happen is that you have to cut it out. must be a peerless or burnham. the rest are neoprene should go smooth. lol sand holes can make you cry. so unfair.
