S1 basket hard removal

OK, so I have a bottomless port I just got from CCS along with a new Dream T and for the life of me I can't find any easy way to get the baskets out. I seriously feel like I am going to rip my fingernails off in the process. Do they loosen up at least a little over time? Swapping in the double basket to the bottomless is a nightmare and seems I need a prying mechanism.

The easiest fix is to remove the PF spring and then use needle nose pliers to put bends in the middle of each straight section. That way you don't have those straight sections that cut across the PF opening. If it's still too tight, put in more bends until the pressure is the way you want it.
Also, if you had scrolled to the bottom of the Tips and Tricks section first, you would have found this thread:
