I just fixed it by removing it and putting it in by sliding it in from the side. To answer your question, it wasn't easy to get out or get back in. I think it was made to be slid in, I must have never put it in right.

I think I'll buy a new one, though, because with it in properly the .012 gauge strings vibrate against the first couple frets.
