If it got in, it can get out. heating up the cover with a torch and then pulling out whatever it is with some vice grips. Use your head.

Wait a second. I know what you are talking about. I got confused. Why do you want to remove that? You don't need to. You just need to line up the front cover straight. Sometimes you've got to tap it on with a rubber mallet.

Why do you need to remove it? I've never had to take that out.

I see now. You have a front cover that somehow had it stay inside it rather than the front housing.

Maybe try using a grinder/dremel tool to 'flatten' out the top and bottom of it and then lubricating it and heating it, then use a vise-grips to grip the two flat sides and wiggle it out...? Should work. It would look like this after grinding the top and bottom---> ( )

See what I'm saying?

The above is all you have to do. A piece of cake. Five minute job.
