As noted, getting the file in to cleanup the hole is the hard part, but not impossible. I normally put my weight into it and it's not a problem. Once inserted into the hole, you can rotate the file as well as move up/down to clean up the hole. That helps minimize horsing on it.
Then, goober up the plug with glue, stick it in, pull and twist the tool 90 degrees to remove, and you're good to go. I usually trim the ends of the plug flush with the tire tread at the end.
