Wheel off, hammer and a block of wood will get most of it out.

Jam a block of wood up against it on the inside then knock it out from the back.

To make the birmabright more pliable you can paint it with some engine oil, and then heat it evenly/ gently with a blow torch until the oil has burnt off, which will make it soft and more pliable. Piece of plywood down the back, and bend/ hammer back to shape

hmm i thought you rubbed it with soap

I've only used the engine oil method myself, but soap works too according to google... It's mainly about making sure you don't over-heat it, with the oil. No idea what the soap is meant to do (not convinced by what I read on google)

Ordinary soap burns at the annealing point of most aluminium, including Birmingham bright - hence its use ..
