The most-chewed Lego pieces in my collection are these:

and the reason they are so often chewed are these pieces:

or ones like them, because this:
is a tight fit for the end of this:
and this:
doesn't afford any way to push this:
out again, and the other end of this:
is bloody hard to grip unless you use these:

At the age of 39, once again faced with the prospect of trying to extract one of these:
from the end of this:
in front of my daughter:

I solved the problem. Simply push the free end of this:
into one of these:

and then insert the safe end of one of these:

into the end of this:
which prevents the clip from pulling loose from this:
and then pull this:
off, which will make you feel like this:

You can actually use another one of the same piece and push it out from the other side, that's what I always did.

That's true if you push the peg into the SIDE of the T-joint. You can indeed use a black rod or similar to push it out again. But if you push the peg into the BOTTOM of the joint, there is no 'other side' to push it back out from.

Problem solving at its finest. Using your teeth to pull those pieces out gets old pretty fast...

Oh right, I hadn't thought of that.

I'm pretty sure there are some long cylindrical lego pieces of about the same diameter as a matchstick which you can use to do the same thing.
I'm think I learned that from some lego construction plan more than a decade ago.

Not gonna lie. Thought you were going somewhere sexual with this.

I always tell my friends that teamliquid.net has all the answers you could ever need for anything, and this blog strengthens my point.
