Help with stuck band anchor!

I'm in the middle of tearing down my '60E, and right now I'm basically stuck with a stuck band that doesn't want to release from the anchor.

I tried everything from forcefully pulling the input shaft, necking the band and the reverse drum (have new ones anyway), to flipping the case upside down. Nothing seems to work!

Here's a pic of the band

Pic of the whole thing, the reverse input drum is not aligned well

I'm not sure if the band anchor is supposed to be like that or not but thought I'd share it anyway (one side is flushed, and the other is below flush)

Nevermind I finally got it out. Turns out that the anchor pin literally stuck in place, and I can't even push it out after removing the input drum.

I bent this tab right here before attempting to pull the whole thing out. I saw it in another thread with someone that had the same problem. I'm not sure how that worked, but it did.

Here's the damn pin still stuck, but I'll deal with it later.

Some will literally just fall out and some are wedged in there, yours just happened to be the latter of the two.
