Protective plug on Digital Audio out ain't budging

[hideous.ape]

On the back of my 500-C the Digital Audio Out plastic protective plug seems to be almost molded into the bloody circuit board...tried pulling it out but seems fairly wedged in there.
Didn't want to force it much more as the part that should house the connector itself was moving with it.

Are these normally wedged in there cause I don't fancy tearing out the entire connector from the circuit board?

mine just slid straight out

Never seen this myself. They usually come out. Try twisting it or levering it out using point of a knife.

get a pair of pliers on it turn very slightly and pull gently

make sure its not connected to the on/off button on the front

Took a knife to the bugger and after a loud snap it flew off and nearly hit the ceiling.
Don't know if the plug had expanded or something but it took a lot of force to remove it.
