I normally use a scapel blade to ease the centre pin up, if this does not work just push the pin straight through it is parrallel. Hopefully you can retrieve the pin and use again.

Did you read the "dropped girlfriend off at work" bit? I doubt she knows and as long as its all cleaned up and she's not on here..... she shouldn't know!

Yes, I suppose I missed that connection. However, posting evidence on a public forum may prove to be his undoing.....
