    2×4 about 4'-6' long.....rest it on leaf spring as a guide and hit the drain plug bung sharply & swiftly with it. Put something or someone under it to keep from hitting floor too hard. Won't damage anything, seen it done hundreds of times with no issues.

    Hold a block of wood on the side of it, and hit with a hammer.
