Use some tiny neddle nose pliers. Use the tips
rite under the neddle, then pull up. kinda like a fork.
good luck

actually...a fork worked perfectly! a small fork with close fingers...don't tell my wife

so its apart, and it looks like the spring that the set needle goes through got sprung and worked its way through the gears...

is it possible to test it while its out of its shell? I would guess run 12v to the post and a ground to the metal around the post.
