If the threads of the plug are out of the tap,half of the battle is won.

So,if you hold the nut or whatever your imagination yields around the plug threads...and someone turns the plug by a wrench..it comes out .
Here is the pictorial,but as I said,is missing the pics. Thanks to Veni from the Bulgarian MB forum:
