trying to get the damn cable chain off and the rest of it departed leaving the last link stuck in the plastic piece in front to the buffer block. I have it twisted out at about a 45 deg angle but I’m genuinely afraid of breaking something. Don’t really want to tug on the cables any more than I am already. Tried slipping a screwdriver behind it and prying - which is what got it to 45 deg.
What are the secrets here? The little video clip in the wiki shows the guy doing it easily - I bet those pins have been “massaged “ to make it release like that.
