It's cold and raining right now so I'll have to try the curb thing later.

Already tried the duct tape twice unsuccessfully, and one of the "needle-nosed" pliers was actually a hemostat... I also did try small tweezers, but couldn't maneuver...

Once the weather breaks, I'll get back at it again.

Thanks, guys!
