Anyone know of a good way to get these things out?

look for some small hooked tools like dental equipment that mechanics use, then you're set.

I used a small paper clip. Straighten out the curves, and then use pliers to bend the last 1/16" of the wire end to about a 90 degree angle. Carefully fish this down into the ring and "O" ring, and gently pull them out. I was trying to remove what was not there one time, and had trouble seeing just what was in the hole. Later found the parts on the floor. Good luck.

yep, you may discover that they are no longer in there because the po blasted them into the void with a 120psi air nozzle blast:pinch:
