take the intake manifold off so you don't have to worry about "dropping anything into the motor" and like stated above use a small instrument to try to pry it out of there.

i actually broke a pick and a flathead screwdriver trying to get it out. Im dumbfounded how a plastic ring is this stuck in the manifold. but it looks like im gonna have to remove the whole manifold for a little o ring. i wa hoping someone had some clever ideas
