    push it in... its got nowhere to go but stay in there in till you pull the pan later when it starts leaking or it might come out the drain if its small enough

    maybe try putting a screw in it, and pry on the screw with a plier or bar

    if it is anything like the c-15 it pulls out. the o-ring around the bottom gets hard as steel. if you have the room put visegrips on it and tap with a hammer. tap around the tube at the bottom to breakup the o-ring before you pull.
