if something comes out you will be able to find where it goes easily. Just do it.

Really, its the only option unless you have the ability to fit screw drivers in a 1/8" opening and unsrew something perpendicular to the screw driver, in which case youd probably be a quadrabillionair. haha. Theres no choice but to give it a few tugs. before you do maybe try putting the bike in nuetral just in-case there is some wierd catch or something.
