I got myself banned.
If theres a piece hanging out you gotta get a pair of channel locks and try to twist it out with them. Its pretty hard to do, your better off just getting a new tube.

Yeah, grab a new tube and fork, and make sure that your reinforce the new fork properly so that it doesnt happen again!

you could try heating it or jamming some sort of expansion nut (star nut or bar end type thing) in there and pulling it out from that

dude re inforce your forks, if u run pro model forks, get an old broken t tube the right size, put like i layer of tape on it, and tap it in, its saves your forks for a bit longer...
