Hi Jason,

You can use a syringe filled with very hot water or Joes juice. I find the hot water works well.

I second the Joe's Juice, only thing I have found that works well.

I have found leaving it in is easier because they stay "extended" easier.

If someone has a way of doing it taking it out, I would love to learn how.

Just squirt the hot water directly above it for a few seconds. Use a 10cc syringe. It will shrivel up quickly. Sometimes it may need a second squirt.
