Should be about to pull it out, try using some type of lube and twist while pulling. If it breaks it looks like a replacement is available at least. Good luck.

Be careful. I broke the booster itself trying to pull mine out. Id say cut the grommet away first. But then, yoire for sure replacing that

That's a good plan but before you do, you should start a thread that asks "Does anyone know if it makes a difference what type of cutoff wheel I use in my Dremel?"
