Berta flail mower tangled steel wire stuck

[erlingre]

Hi!

I have a BCS 740 and a Berta TR650 85CM flail mower. I'm very satisified with the combination, but unfortunately a piece of steel wire god tangled up in the mower.
I was able to remove most of it with pliers, etc. but a piece is left in the innermost part towards the housing / bearing (look for the picture).
I hope the bearing is not harmed.
How should I best try to remove the last piece of wire? Loosening the whole axle assembly with the flails might be required, but how can I do that in the easiest possible way.

I think I would try setting it on the end opposite of the piece of wire.

That may shift the rotor down and allow you to pull the wire out.
