I've seen two different types of "Bridle Wires". One is "pressed" in. The other "screws" in! Rather than trying to "pull" the Bridle wire out, try unscrewing it. Oh, BTW, just drill an appropriate size hole right next to the broken stub and insert a replacement, rather than trying to "dig" the "stub" out. DAMHIK!
