Is there more than one guide rail pin? I see one looking down into it. I was able to pull this one easily using an M6 bolt, washer, and a socket. I ran the bolt through the socket and into the pin and simply tightened the bolt - pulled the pin right out!

The plastic guide rail feels "free" now, I can wiggle it around 1/2" or so in any direction so it doesn't feel like there are any other pins.

The plastic rail won't come out though. It feels like it's caught on something? I peered down in there with a flashlight and I can't see any other pins, nor can I tell what it's catching on.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm stuck at this guide rail and might just call it a night...
