Once you've moved the square holes in the metal core past the pips on the plastic ring you should no longer need the tool.
It might be worth filing a square notch 180° from the existing notch. OTOH how often do you need to take these out.
The method in my video probably has a lower probability of snapping the pips off the ring. Keeping in mind that this is 20 year old brittle plastic. Rotate til one pip lines up so you can tilt it out and carefully rotate the ring til the other pip lines up with the notch so you can take it the rest of the way out.
