Drill out where the plugs have been centre punched into the thread, they will then most likely unscrew without too much effort.I ordered some 0.5 mm oversized main bearings sent from Peugeot but they sent the wrong ones - three main bearing lead-Indium 404 Injection mains 0.3 mm oversized (visible in the photo). So the correct ones have been sent today, and it seems they don't want the incorrect ones back.
Also in the shipment were the things in the photo. New stainless steel instrument panel trim for when I eventually build the Jaeger sports instrument panel, plus a spare oil pressure sending unit.
In the bag are some original type small diameter hose clamps for the heater hoses.
I also got some English language owners manuals of cars I've had (404C) or wanted (504C). The latest bit - 504 C owners manual, La Production Peugeot 1963 and a first edition 404 Cabriolet French language owners manual - should be here soon.
I will work on extracting the sludge trap plugs from the crankshaft this weekend. Likely have to drill all 4 out.
A set of the missing brass banjo fittings for the front drums has been sent by a kind soul in France, a 404 Club member - free! I'll send him something as a thank you.

How can put in an order for an instruction book? I would like to order book in english for my 504 C ,preferably for the correct year ,1973.I ordered some 0.5 mm oversized main bearings sent from Peugeot but they sent the wrong ones - three main bearing lead-Indium 404 Injection mains 0.3 mm oversized (visible in the photo).

I went to that rather long website and tried to put in an order for an english language book only to be told they were out of stock. 40 euros seemed like a high price [most others were 33] plus whatever else for shipping so i will just leave it for now .https://www.pieces-de-rechange-classic.com/504/181293-notice-utilisation-504-coupe-cab-1972.html
That's the one I ordered and is the only English language one I found. Make sure if you order that you use the "Code Promo" "ETE2020" on the right hand side where the total bill is shown in order to get a 20% discount. Good until August 15th so act fast!
1972 is not quite 1973 but I suspect they may have put the 1972 booklet in the 1973 models anyway. That certainly was the case for the 404C.
They only say sold out when you try to payI just checked the site and they're still available, I was able to put one in my panier. It would make more sense if there are some other 504C parts you could also order at the same time.
