Just a wide tip flathead screwdriver should do the trick. Thinking yours might have been a long time since it has been removed. Try using something like PB Blaster and letting it sit.

Take a 3/8 bolt and use it as a flat punch and smack the top of it a couple times then try again , you can also cut a flat on big washer and use a crescent wrench on them .

Need a picture of your belt setup , BDL makes one with the idler not Karata . I've used them all just gotta see what you have to give the right setup unfo , they all have quirks .

The slot head stuff I've got 3 dif. sizes of the old drag link sockets , got tired of the of rigging things .

You just take a file to that , common . Shouldn't need an idler with the Karata , those go on the BDL 11mm systems as far as I know I'm running one of them now .
