Good idea on the system flush...I think I will definitely do that, can't hurt. I did end up using the smallest amount of WD40 and as I already said Vice Grips. I twisted and wiggled it with the vice grips and it came out. I didn't think to loosen the reservoir cap and of course some coolant leaked out, which might have been a good thing because that should have alleviated the WD40 concern...would have flushed it all upwards and out of the system...anyways, it's finally out and my temp gauge is reading as it should once again! Thanks Tifosi and Complacentsee for the help!
