Get someone stronger to give it a yank?

Wedge a long bar behind it and lever it out.

it is only like copper or something and bending it back and forth will weaken it

1. Pull it harder, it might break, s**t happens, worry about that if it does.

2. Leave it alone.

3. Call a mobile mechanic to do it for you.
