Radiator drain plug

How do you get the radiator drain plug out to replace o-rings.  Cannot seem to get it far enough out to depress locking tangs.

Yep tried that yesterday - wouldn't budge - it was a brand new plug and seals.  Still leaking though.

Today, with water hot, came straight out!  Put the new seals on the original plug and, touch wood, no leaks now  :y
