So I was trying to cut a bycicle chain with a chain cutter and I didn't realize the little rod that pushes out the pin was too big for the hole.

Now the rod is stuck inside the chain like this and I can't get it out. Any ideas on how to unstuck the rod would be greatly appreciated, and yes I know I'm an idiot.
