Rick,

My grandfather was a plumber....don't panic. Just take a chisel and whack the plug. It should bend in and you can just pull out the pieces. The plug is brass and should be going into cast iron. You should be able to pull/coax/pick any remaining brass pieces out of the cast iron threads. As Kurt say, they have expandable rubber replacements at home stores....or just buy a pvc type replacement plug, coat the threads with teflon paste or teflon tape after wire brushing the female threads nice and clean on the cast iron pipe. Once you get this plug off, what are your plans to clear up your drain problems. Is this a sink line or waste line?

Steve
