[Elecraft] K2 build from purgatory!

[Don Wilhelm]

LS,

I would try pliers first, but watch the process as you apply pressure.  
It may assist if you damage the case more with your soldering iron (melt 
more of the plastic) until you can get an Exacto knife edge into it to 
help with the process.
As I said, use any tool that works - just be careful not to damage other 
nearby components.

73,
