    Have you tried using a screwdriver at an angle to pry it out?

    Yes, it moved down and to the left, and I can't get anything inside the hole to get it out. I can barely feel the piece with my finger and there is not enough room to get a tool inside there to remove it. I wonder if I could push it down more and took off the water pump if I would be able to see it?
