Don't worry about the wedge until you get the stem loose. Then it should just drop out. Unless I'm missing something in the story.

click "edit" at the bottom of your post... the "Delete" option should be there, third option to the right bottom of the editable post... clicking "delete" will give you more choices. ...

I read that only Titanium subscribers can delete their thread... So no "delete" buttons anywhere for me!

Why didn't you leave your original post in place and then tell us how you solved it?
