[Lowfer] Help - Tool Advice?

[Andy - KU4XR]

Peter:

Check first; would it be easier, and less frustrating to just
desolder the wires from the back of the mic plug, or if mounted
on the board, desolder from the board, and remove the assembly ??
If not, try a pair of very small, long billed needle nose pliers,
each tip in a slot, and twist it loose. You can try 2 very small
bladed straight screwdrivers, hold them like chop sticks, one 
screwdriver into a slot across from the other and try to twist it 
loose that way. Don't know if this will help in any way, but I've 
been there and done that. 73, and good luck
