The right side was the same side I went in through too, and I had the same thoughts too, if it breaks it breaks.I finally got sick of it and said screw it if it breaks I don't care! I pulled the right side with all I had shoved my hand in the rear and got one finger on it and released it. Felt like I was gonna loose circulation in my right hand any minute. THAT SUCKED! On the bright side...it wont happen again!
I hope it never happens again to me, but good thing is I know how to do it, now you do too.
