I have no idea what to do. I’ve tried even using a metal mallet to bang on the pry bar and it still will not budge.
What am I doing wrong??? Any tips/ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Get a bigger hammer...seriously. Make sure you are hitting it in the right place (see pic). Watch this video around the 5:30 mark. He's using a screwdriver but I used a piece of steel that had a bit more substance to it and a 3 pound sledge. Don't try to "pry" it out, you have to "drive" it out just like he's hitting the screwdriver in the video. It will pop out.
