how to remove wire ball guide

[48]

AS the subject says I want to remove a wire ball guide from a 80's Williams playfield.
Its one of those wire guards that lead up to a hole etc.
I assume these are just a push in type of thing.
Are there any tricks/tips to getting them in and out?
I normally leave them in but need to transfer one from one machine to another.
Cheers,

Get a screw driver a club and a flat solid piece if anything hard.

Put the cloth on the playfield put the flat piece of timber etc on the cloth then use the screw driver resting on the block to gently pry the wire form out.   Be careful not to lift the paint.

Thanks mate,

Probably obvious, but be sure to lever a little each side and gradually remove the wire, keeping it as level as possible to avoid damage to the PF.

I take a small chunk of Pergo I kept after installing it in my house - Pergo is fake hardwood flooring with a felt 'backing' glued to it. The felt provides minimal cushioning. I put the chunk on the playfield, with the felt 'down' on the playfield surface so it won't scratch the playfield up - then, I use a small screwdriver or pry bar on the top of the pergo and carefully work it out, one end at a time.
