OK I managed to get the new plug in. Besides lubing with dish soap I fitted a bar snuggly (in this case a 5.5 mm wrench) in the castled end of the plug. Then I could grab both ends of the bar and pull the plug towards me into the hole. Having the bar in there also allowed me to controll and oscillate the plug around, that seemed to help get it to slip in.
