Stand hole issue

I tried taking out a metal stand out of my NG 747 and now it looks like the thing that goes into the stand hole broke off and is now stuck like this:

Anyone got a suggestion on how to get it out?

it’s a boy!

Maybe softly with pliers

I’ll see, it very lodged in there too

These stands are notorious for this. Take pliers gently and tug it out. Then I’d recommend gluing that peg into the stand so it won’t happen again.

Called a "peg," I have learned. As @Aircrafter93 pointed out, you have enough of it sticking out that you can use a set of precision pliers to pull it out.

FWIW, I had a plastic peg break flush with the belly once. Used a super heated needle to melt through it, let it cool down and pulled it out.

It worked… kind of.

While pulling it out with pliers, it managed to snap off. Well, at least I don’t have a peg sticking out of a plane, it’s barely noticeable
