I have just had the same problem. I slid a small Alan key under the panel
and turned it so the L was pointing up behind the panel. With a strong
pair of grips I got slot of purchase and was able to drag the panel out.

Maybe he's waited 12 years to hear that.

Still useful for others even now.

I managed to end up with the drop in top of the latest Coopers
beer fermenter down behind the washing machine because the
laundry is where I brew the beer. It was so far down I couldnt
reach if and was considering making a hook to hook it out.
Didnt think to use an alan key visegripped a long rod etc.
