The hole is threaded. I use a 5/8 bolt 1" long to plug them. You may have to clean the hole out with a pick.

sometimes the hole will be solid with carbon... if thats the case, and your done throwing wrenches, and swearing, then you could always cut the egr tube , and weld the holes shut..

Spark Plugs seems to be the easiest thing But I Take the tube off cut the ends and then flip them upside down. Bolt them back down...... They cover the holes then.....
