sliding window jaw

So my rear left window quits working. I take the trim off and see that the little plastic dealy (they call it the sliding window jaw) that holds the motor's arm to the window is broken, leaving the arm free to move about without moving the window.

I say, thank God it's not the motor (but I was kinda sure it wasn't since I could hear it), and go to the dealership and pay $8 for a new plastic dealy. I go to put it in, thinking it'll take all of 5 minutes, but surprise surprise, I run into a bigger problem.

The little plastic dealy is connected to the arm via a metal dealy. Half of the metal dealy comes with the sliding jaw, and looks like it's supposed to snap in to the other half, through a hole in the arm.

Now the problem is two-fold. First off, the metal dealy is perfectly cylindrical, so there's no way to twist it off or anything. Second, it seems like some sort of super air gun or something shot one part into the other, cause they are stuck like there's no tomorrow.

At first I didn't even realize they were two pieces, because when the plastic dealy broke, the metal dealy stayed together, in the arm. Then when it came time to hook to arm up to the plastic dealy, "oops, there's an extra part here".

So to make a long story short, does anyone have any idea how take the metal dealy off the arm? Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to get a new window regulator just because of that messed up cylindrical screw?
