I use a small pick and just work it out. Once you get it started, it'll pull right out.

I started with a small pick and stopped thinking there was possibly an easier way.I guess I'll go back to picking on it.I'll keep the rod idea in mind for future reference.Hope I never get to use it

Well,I got them out with a very small punch that I ground down.It was a pita.The block was already decked and built so I was being careful.Thanks for the help.
