heat it up with your torch jsut the outside part and the pice should fall right out unless you pressed it in there , not that i know what it is or any thing but thats how i get bearings outa motor cases.. put the whole contraption in the freezer first to get it all cold then heat the outside part

First question that comes to mind is: don't fix what ain't broken. Is it in crooked, or is it working fine as-is? You didn't force it down past the through-hole did you? It shouldn't be able to bottom out....

Anyways...You should be able turn the stump-sucker upside down and gently tap it on a soft surface (a dish towel folded over a couple times). If the disk doesn't fall out, you might have some luck freezing it. Do not stick it straight from the freezer into the flame, just freeze and tap.

If that fails you could probably bend a hook through some of the holes and force it out, but you'd risk breaking the disk. They're not hard to re-make if you have a drill press and some patience, but it's a bitch... and I'm pretty sure you can buy them separate. Failing that I could make you one for like $10-15

maybe some tweezers and pry gently on it until it comes out??

Can you actually use these with boro? I wanted to get one and didnt because I thought it would be pretty hard to do. Would you need the next size of marble mold to make a marble from it?
