Broken Diddle Stick removal from IF Can Core
#1

Hello, does anyone know how to remove a broken diddle stick from an IF Can adjustment core? I was adjusting the IF alignment on my 1960 Zenith C845Y radio and the diddle stick I was using decided to break off inside the IF Can adjustment core, and I can't seem to get it out by turning the chassis upside down and shaking it. 
Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so what did you do to remove the diddle stick remains from the IF Can? Is it a matter of having to completely disassemble the IF Can or is it simpler than that?

Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
