What is the best way to loosen a 5" clean out plug? Heat surrounding metal with a torch?
House is 27 years old and the plugs have never been taken out. Pipes are copper and cast iron.

I assume you have brass cleanout plugs,If so just beat them out with a hammer some of the cap will remain intact around the edges of the clean out opening,but that is easily removed with a screw driver and a little tapping with a hammer
