Are these what holds the Athearn motor in? Do I just pull the motor out or what. I read an earlier post about converting one these to DCC,but there didn't seem to be any reference to these plugs. Thank you.
Those "plugs" are just the retaining lugs of the two piece motor mounts.
Push them up through the holes with a blint tool.
You may wish to save them for another loco, they tend to crack wth age.
