I usually use a broom handle, mallet and lots of swearing.

ive a bit of re-bar ,12mm concrete re-inforcing bar offcut from any building site,an it helps to put a little bend in 6" from end an then grind the end back square so it catches on the lip of race inside the frame .
then add swbnic's mallet n naughty words an it comes out, but dont just hit on 1 side ,try to knock it out evenly moving the drift around the circle or it can tilt an get tighter making it harder , H
