Guigsy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I had the same issue getting mine out. Gave up on mine and decided to cut it out . another one I had needed a lot of persuading. I drenched it in wd40 to make sure it wasn't jammed in somehow and it eventually came free. The pliers kept slipping out though and needed a lot of force in the correct direction.

SPG Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 A decent set of long nose pliers or long nose mole grips work best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
