Use some needle nose pliers in the grooves and twist clockwise while pushing in to retract it.

if i remember correctly, when doing the needle nose thing be careful because there is a rubber seal there that will probably rip easily if you grab it with those. its been a while since i've messed with mine so i can't remember if the seal was an issue or not. it was on my brother's 240sx.
