Seems like if you were to chuck it up and spin it in a slow cordless drill you should be able to remove it while it is spinning.

I did try the brush thing, but I did not have much success. The brush I had was a twisted wire type of shaft, and the handle, if it had one, was not a secure one. I don't remember if it had one, it was a long time ago. Anyway, I twisted it and got the brush in the pin hole, but I couldn't get it out, without a lot of trouble. Reason being the bristles were pointing out of the hole, and dug in, when I tried to remove it. Almost like some animals teeth, the grab, and you have to rip to get free. If it originally had a handle, it pulled off, when trying to remove the brush. It was the one from Pianotek TPB-1. I never did get it to work right. Mind you, my methodology, might have been wrong. But how can I be wrong, you push it in, and then pull out. Except, it wouldn't come out. John M.
