If you have something to hook to inside the baffle you might can straighten out the handle off a 5 gallon bucket( its stiff metal) bend a small hook on one end and pull it out,also might use some wd-40 to make it easier, be patient and don't bend anything up , there is more than one way of doing it so if you have any problems let us know. But this method worked well for me.
