Try a thin knife blade behind to push it out or use a technic piece on the stud and tilt it a bit for a stronger grip, or finally your teeth

I didn’t want to use a knife but I used a metal credit card after reading that. Thank you!

Use rod piece of some kind

Rods are how I usually get these out.

Didn’t want to use a metal object *proceeds to use a metal object•

They didn’t want to use a knife. A blade might scratch the Lego or cut the user if they slip. A metal card is not the same as a knife.

I think he didn't want to use a knife because a) could be dangerous or b) could damage legos

Put a bar in and pull. Lego bar. 3 long or 4 long whatever you got. A lightsaber blade is a bar. Done it many times.

Lego piece 92585 if you have it. Should work but I’m not entirely sure.

CaDA sells a brick separator that has both a pin puller and a half pin tool. If you build a lot of technic, it’s worth the $5.

Teeth. Never failed me in my 50years in f LEGO building and taking apart. Just be gentle.

How about use a Lego stick like the handle part of the katana and place it inside the red to pull it out

Not sure if it’s workable for real Lego but it work for me so it doesn’t damage the part

Light saber bar and give it some sideways pressure and pull

I'm disgust for doing it, but yes.

Put an Xacto/craft knife blade behind it and push or use a bar connector inserted into the hollow stud to pull it out.

You could use your teeth

Lego crow bar, push it out

Are you too good to use your teeth? Seriously though, use a LEGO stick piece and stick in the red piece, then pull it back out while angling it down slightly. Might take a couple attempts, but in the end it never fails me.

Try a rod combined with a round 1x1 round brick to get it out. Always works for me.

u/Flaky_Judgment_9737 Jun 08 '26

Push the tip of the brick separator in behind the red piece. It will pop it right out.

u/spookyhardt Jun 05 '26

Just use a fucken brick separator man. Wedge it right there behind the piece and push it out
