ALso remember that there is a certain point where taking it some where (machine shop ) woudl be cheaper than breaking it.....

hmm, dont have a soldering iron, but that method might be the answer,
Big old screwdriver and a propane (LP) torch. Get it red hot ......
EDIT: remember, you only want to touch against it till it's warm. You don't want to melt anything.

Yeah appears that she got it out by prying it... you can see the pics smaller if you right click and go to view image. I've read that thread probably 100 times!

I had the same problem. A little wd-40, and a flat head glasses screwdriver did the trick.
