Default Core plug issues

Hey everyone. I have been having great difficulty tapping in this near side core plug on my 410. Do any of you have any ideas how to do this when there is only 2.5 inches of space? I have tried buying a tiny bottle jack (too big), hitting it with a small hammer (cant generate enough force) and putting on a truck to my local garage who only gave lame excuses not to touch it. So frustrating. Some help and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Check out the attached images of the car cleaned up and for its pointless trip to the local garage.

Regards Paul
