Here's a dumb question about Part I of Level Repair: How do you get the
brass thingy out of the plaster of paris when you're ready to put in your
new vial?

I've picked up a couple of levels mucho cheapo over the years because
they're missing vials. Amazingly, I found & snatched up a baggy-ful
of curved clear-liquid vials at a tailgate last year, but I can't get the vial
holders out without fear of bashing 'em to bits.

Suggestions?
