Hi I am new to the post. I have an inground pool that we are just opening because of some construction. In my haste to open I forgot to pull the skimmer winterizing plugs and now they are stuck. Is there any trick to releasing them?

IF they're not sucked down into the pipe all the way you can take a big pair of pliers and wiggle them from side to side and that should help free them up.
Thank you Dave, I purchased a pair of heavy duty pliers and they came out like butter!! You have made my day. :-D

Make sure you unscrew the wing nuts ~ 1/2 way before attempting to remove the plugs
