and you don't think I tried that already.... 
the problem is there is nothing to hit - it is right up in the underside of the tube - can't get hold of it or put anything behind it |

Die grinder(dremel)with a mounted point.It should grind out easily enough.
Just cut through it carefully and flick it out.
