Not everyone has a set of Dental tools (I do, came in an antique porcelin topped drawer cabinet) so a much more common heavy sewing needle can suffice; if you do not have one of these, chances are the neighbor lady or your Mom or Auntie do. You just need a sturdy tool that will slip into the small space between socket & gripper. Be careful prying against micanol or phenolic sockets so you do not flake off fragments of the socket.
