Tad:
Two things have worked for me--drilling a hole into  it and screwing a long 
thin screw  into the hole to pull it out, or, preferred, I like to heat a thin 
guage nail in a torch to red hot, then melt the insert in two.  Don't worry 
about destroying it--there is a new one in the rebuild kit.  Reason I lie the 
melting procedure is there is less chance of marring the inside of the cylinder 
with a hot nail than there is with a drill and screw.
