Pillion foot peg plug removal.

Does anyone know how to remove these plastic plugs, so pillion foot pegs can be installed? Do they just pop out? I've carefully tried, but no luck. Possibly require a little more force. Any suggestions/advice appreciated!

I just removed my pillion/passenger pegs yesterday, they have threaded holes there. Just pull rubber plugs out, may have to turn a little but should pull right out.

Still having trouble removing these damned things . What tool did you use? Noticed you said the plugs are threaded, so did you just turn anti-clockwise to loosen, and then just pull out?! Someone on a different platform said they had to drill out the centre of the plug and then remove without hitting the metal thread of the actual bike. Surely that's not the answer!
